Hello everyone...this seems to be a fantastic down to earth site where us enthusiaststs can find information on maintaining and repairing these fine cars which er love so much.

I recently bought a 93 xj6,straight 6, non turbo,automatic trans.

The battery died first day i bought it,purchased at low price of 1500 w/ abs anti lock,brake, and fuse warning lights on..thought it woud be an easy fix...

discovered during trickle charging that main abs fuse #30 had been removed...also,a positive lead may have hit ground post of battery...lost everything but radio code and fog lights...attery tested bad,un usable-i bought a new battery but am now desperately seeking advice on how to diagnose electrical and abs anti lock systems, locate main fuse,(all other fuses in boxes are intact-havent connected new battery,dont know if i should leave the abs main pump fuse OUT,in cace the pump was shorted to the frame,or perhasps the car just had better brake pedalw/ out the fuse/abs...

pedal was VERY FIRM when car was running,any tips would be hugely appreciated...in return,i plan to make a donation as soon as i can afford it,as well as share anything usefull i learn about diagnosing/repairing the electrical/abs systems on the vehicle..

i look forward to meeting you all, and welcome friend invites,im on as bruce.7142@yahoo.com ( messenger) if anyone is willing to help me learn how to navigate this,or other sites w/ any success,as im new to computers myself!

thanks to all of you, cant waitto get approved so i can get started,sincerely,

Bruce Summers
