Default 05 S-Type 30 amp fuse tower

Does anyone know what a 30 amp fuse tower is, what it looks like, and where it's located on my 2005 S-Type?

In 2020 I replaced the fuel pump but the car still wouldn't start. An authorized jaguar repair shop fixed the car with a '30 amp fuse tower.' It cost $16.67 for the part and $233.98 labor. Plus the cost to tow the car. It's acting exactly the same way so I thought I'd replace this part before another tow bill and high repair cost.

I have the service manual and there's no mention of a 30 amp fuse tower. Internet searches don't provide any help.

Thanks

Maybe they had a typo and meant 30 Amp Fuse Power? They just replaced a fuse and at $16.67 whatever they did it could not have been much.
Just guessing here.

I think you may be right! Here's exactly what they wrote on the invoice.

"ck car no power to fuel pump ck relay no power ck and trace problem to bad fuse replace power back on and car running advise cust" Line item "30 AMP FUSE TOWER"

I'm going to move forward with it's just a fuse and see where that takes me.

Thank you very much!

This is why they are calling it a tower. Look for this type. 30 amp. Fuel pump related

Thank you... this helps a lot! I'll look on the fuse diagram for the one that powers the fuel pump. Bet it's one of these 'tower' type fuses.

I just got around to looking at the Jag. I have a second, more dependable, car. I found the 30 amp 'tower' fuse for the fuel pump and that is the one the repair place replaced. It's the only new tower fuse in all three fuse boxes. Nothing wrong with that fuse so I looked at every tower fuse in the car. All good. Out of curiosity I tried to start the car. It fired right up! I don't know how but the car healed itself probably with a little help from above.

Thank you guys!

Wonderful. Could have been as simple as a bad connection you made right. And a little help from above never hurts
