Hello to all fellow jag owners! Have a 2005 S-type with a battery draining problem. I've been able to trace it to the interior dimming control and fuel flap / trunk release circuit (fuse 33 in the primary electrical fuse box in the passenger side kick panel). Whats happening is the car is not going into sleep mode. If I pull that fuse # 33 the car car will go to sleep after 30 minutes. The car is drawing 700 milli -amps with the fuse 33 in. If I pull the fuse 33 it will drop to 620 milli amps for 30 minutes and then drop to 20 milli amps and go to sleep mode. Just wondering if any one has any ideas as to what it might be keeping the car from going to sleep mode with fuse 33 in place. Ive tried to unplug the fuel flap / trunk release button assembly but did not help. the wire # in the schematic is 61s and goes to the GECM and I'm assuming feeds various lights that are depicted in figure 9.2 in the Jaguar s type electrical guide.

Thanks for reading my ramblings and any help or guidance is greatly appreciated!!!

Hi Jeff welcome to the forum.

You really need to ask 'Tech' type questions over in the S Type section. The guys are good.

This section is really just used to say Hello and get to know people a little.
