Hi all new problem 2000 xj8 my car this time. I had to do a hard rest as my drivers window was not working works now, problem is all the back lights dash center console everything works , but no back lights j gate lights up have checked fuses left hand kick board. I can see a bulb going out but all of them at the same time is strange what a I missing any thoughts would be appreciated thanks jrb53

 

Have you pulled the panel to check'em? On cars this age, don't discount what a minor surge could do to it.

 

I believe there is a Jaguar TSB covering this item for the X308 series

Does the dimmer override work to laminate the Center Control Switch Park ?

Additional TSB to consider :
