Hi looking for the root cause of my boot light not working. Was wondering if anyone tries this manual, is it helpful? Alldata

 

You really need a wiring diagram to diagnose that sort of issue rather than a service manual.

The attached PDF is the wiring diagram for the luggage compartment lamp on a 2013 XJ. The circuit doesn't look too complicated so you may be able to trace it from the Central Junction Box (see graphic).

C3BP01F pin 4 from the CJB then connector C33-E pin 16.

 

I have a manual and other information but it's really huge about 300 MB.
I also have the wiring diagrams.
Contact me and I can upload somewhere for you.

Be aware the manual is about 8700 pages!
So my only complaint is the volume of stuff it contains!

I use the Alldatadiy quite a bit and if I can't find the information there use the full shop manual.

 

Hi where did you get a full shop manual. Dealer? thanks

 

Look at the sticky - the mods have just uploaded a manual and other useful information.

 

just checked all the fuses in boot & compartment and tested micro switch. and still no discovery of why ugh

 

thanks i looked through it.. i can find a reason why the trunk light does not work. possibly a relay of some kind. I`m beat,,, i will have to pay to locate the issue.

 

Sorry to hear that Randy!
If you do get it fixed please report back so others can benefit.

sorry to say I never figured it out. i get an alert on the dash when trunk is open. but no light power.. so i did a work around, until i can have it checked at the dealer. i used a tilt switch and a fuse to the battery. work great. but i will someday find the reason the light is not working as it should.
