Hello everyone - I own a 2004 XJ that has an electrical problem with multiple systems, as follows:

- Air conditioning turns on, but its blower won't run
- Air suspension pump does not run - it was leaky, but would always run
- Radio unit does not come on at all
- Driver side seat adjustment does not work

I have checked all the fuses inside the engine compartment, cabin and the trunk that had anything to do with the failed components and found them to be good.

History: The last problem that I had with the car was that it wouldn't shift out of Park - while pressing on the brakes - so I followed instructions I found on the web to remove the center console and the shifter to get to the gear lockout tab, which I removed, so I could then shift it out of parking.

Once I put everything back together and got the car to shift, I noticed that the air suspension was not pumping back up and then discovered that the air conditioning blower, radio and driver seat adjustments were not working either.

Other Clues: Prior to that I had a problem with not being able to open the trunk when the battery had died, during which I tried to power the instruments by connecting the charger to the engine compartment fuse box - which didn't help and caused the horn to go on. I eventually had to take the back seat off to access the trunk through the speaker holes and pull the cable that opens the trunk.

So I don't know if the electrical problems started after I dealt with the battery issue or the transmission lockout issue. I should note that I also had an existing front air suspension leak on the front passenger side and a noisy air suspension pump as well - both of which I have fiddled with a bit.

Potential Culprits: I am wondering if I may have accidentally disconnected a connector that would cause all of these systems to not work or if I may have blown a relay when I was dealing with the battery issue.

Any advice as to what connectors, relays or other areas I should look into would be much appreciated - as the problem is affecting multiple systems, most of which are motor driven, with the exception of the radio.

Many thanks for your time and help!
Paul
