Welcome to the forum macjag1745,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

I know you've already found your way to the XK8/XKR forum with the washer pump problem so there's no need for a link to it from me.
The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues.

Please remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

You can also visit the Europe Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/europe-42/
to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham

"Most" relays are wired same way, and have a schematic molded into their covers. Just try swapping one for another of the same kind and you can confirm or deny it as being "good"
