Speaker in the steering column replacement (no warning or turn signal sounds)
I suddenly have no beeps or turn signal sound on my XJ6. How much will I have to take apart to replace the speaker or speaker wire (i.e. is it worth my time?).
I mostly worry of looking like a fool on the highway for long periods with a turn signal on. And leaving my lights on overnight. thanks! |
If I have to get deep in there, I just remembered that none of the steering wheel adjustment controls work either. Could be worn cables all over the place and hours of fun.

I had to replace my warning buzzer / speaker / bell a while back.
I ordered one from ebay but it did not work, too, so I *think* I ordered it from radioshack with info from this post : https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...buzzer-166974/ Radioshack link is https://www.radioshack.com/products/...ant=5717358533 |
Does the steering wheel need to come out to do the speaker replacement?
thanks. |

thanks. Hopefully someone else can confirm this either way so you can have a good start having fun. |
The Jaguar loudspeaker is something like 64 ohm. A little 8 ohm speaker will work though.
I bought 5 of the 64 ohm speakers from an electronic supplier a few years ago just to have them in stock for my collection of XJ8s. Jaguar wanted a ridiculous amount for ONE. I think I paid something like $3 each plus shipping. The diameter is 66mm @ .5 watt--64 Ohm bob |
I replaced me with a tiny speaker that came from an old junk PC that was lying around the hose. . I removed old, spliced the wire and zip tied new speaker.
