Hello everyone!
Brand new to the forum but longtime Jag lover! My uncle had a '57 XK140 when I was a kid and I loved that car so much that I even subscribed to the Jaguar enthusiasts' magazine "Ejag" back in the '70s when I didn't have enough money to buy a part for one, much less a car!
Anyhoo, my name is Brad and I now have a beautiful early VIN '97 XK8 convertible that has been babied its whole life and garage kept. I got the car back in September and have fixed some fiddly bits and minor issues trying to get it back to original perfection. I've got everything right except for a puzzling issue with the driver's window rolling down when the door is opened. I went to the Jag dealership to let them run diagnostics and figure out what was causing the problem and they said it was a door module (LJE2120AB00) that they claim is VIN specific and has to be special ordered, so I told them to order it. Afterwards I got to thinking that even though the battery tested good for voltage, it may have a bad core since the car hasn't been a daily driver. Sure enough, I changed the battery and the window problem was miraculously resolved. So I cancelled the order for the door module thinking all was ok. I finally fixed the last little bit in the car yesterday and was so happy that everything was finished until I opened the door to get out and the window rolls down all the way again. I tried the reset procedure several times to no avail and the battery is just 2 weeks old and testing strong.
Any insight into this would be much appreciated!
