I found out last night that the user manuals can be downloaded directly from the Jaguar Website. 2000 and up. Free. (Guess when you loose $50k in value in a couple years, they figure it's the least they could do.)
It even shows where all 2 million fuses and relays are and what they are for. Saved me hours of troubleshooting today.

No wiring diagrams though.

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE this car! Just glad I didn't pay to roll it off the lot. Super Clean 1999 XJR. $5,500. Wahoo!

 

turn signal switches are proune to failure .. use the tilt and reach motor going in and out and try the signals.. the wires pull apart from going in and out so many times..

 

This sort of information is priceless when it happens to you. I'm quietly copying and pasting what I find into a Word document for future knowledge in case I run into these problems later.

Thank you Very Much to all Techs and Geniuses. I'm sure you are saving us all MANY Hundreds of Thousands of dollars.

If I can repay you by answering Windows PC or Windows Mobile Phone questions, feel free to PM me and I'll do my best.

 

i have the identical car.. same rims colour and tint ..

 

I'm REALLY enjoying driving this luxury race car.

Just passed California Smog today, will register it tomorrow. And, I think I'm down to my last part, a replacement Rear View Mirror. Then everything will be working 100%. (For a while. hehe)

 

I just got mine registered . I just finsihed building it. New engine and replaced all the fluids . Was a nice 2 week project . Just gonna get the wood refinished on the doors and im all done.

 

Congratulations on the registration. Yes, I was excited when it passed smog with flying colors. Had me worried due to expense of smog parts.

I'm amazed at the condition of the wood in this car still. It's 10 years old, and it still looks factory new. I cannot find any cracks, scratches, or hazy areas anywhere, including the steering wheel. Someone was very good to this vehicle. I feel very fortunate.

I wish I had your ability to rebuild the motor. I also wish I knew if the tensionors have been done. I guess I don't need to worry about the nacilli issues with this milage. It has 124,000 miles on it, and I'd feel better with a rebuild, but I'll be happy running it until it's needed. Besides, in the condition it's in, I'm hoping to get many more years out of it. We'll see.

 

Jag_Genious,

Since you have the same vehicle, would you by chance have the part number off the back of the Rear View Mirror? Mine is broken, and it's not the correct one for this car. I'm guessing someone changed it at some point.

I figure your car would be set up the same way as mine. I've got Auto Dim Mirror, and Auto Headlights. Someone told me I need the 6 Wire Mirror for the Auto Headlights to work, and I currently have the 3 Wire, so my Auto Headlights do not turn on.

The part number on my mirror is 011530 and I was hoping your mirror might have a different number?

Thanks again.
