I'm new here. My current ride is a 2001 XJR. Prior to that a 1997 XJR, 1995 VDP, 1991 XJ6. All were rescued by me via eBay from neglect and restored to full functionality and beauty. My spare ride is a 2005 X-Type wagon, which gets a lot of attention "I didn't know Jaguar made a wagon".
My XJR died suddenly yesterday not far from home. I had it brought home by rollback. It's an electrical problem. The battery was totally dead. I removed it and charged it OK. Reinstalled, it shows a > 30 amp short somewhere. My multitester only goes to 10 amps, so I have been blowing 30 amp AGC fuses while looking for the short. I removed all the 40 amp relays in all the locations I could find. No luck so far. I suspected a bad alternator but someone in the forum said that would not cause this. Has anyone had a similar experience or have any suggestions?
