Default Interior / courtesy lights not switch on automatically

Hi everyone,
When I open the car (or when I stop the engine) interior lights not switch on automatically.
All the lights work if I switch them manually on with the under-mirror sensor-switch (footwell, door puddle, under-mirror, over-head).
If I switch them manually on then lock the car all shade / shut off as them should...
When I start the car with the interior lights on all stay on ... (normally when the car shifts to gear and starts the lights should shade off...)

Please advise me...
Gab A. Pinter

They may have accidentally been turned off, if you sit in the car and hold your finger on the light for several seconds it should put then back into automatic mode.

What a coincidence!
Someone posted the exact same questions what seems like a week or 3 ago (and got the same answer of course).

Okay, so actually about 5 weeks ago. How time flies...

Glad to help, as mentioned above this question pops up from time to time, either on a forum of a Jaguar facebook group., I only knew it because it happened to me about 11 years ago when my first x351 was about a year old !
