replace switch bulbs
Hi Peeps,
I've just joined the forum tonight, I'm looking for advice on how to change bulbs behind the switches on my climate control unit on my 2002 XJ8 SE.......as some of them do not illuminate.... Thank you in advance Steven C.....from Edinburgh, Scotland |
My question probably is, do the fronts just pop off the switches to change the bulb behind them :)

Welcome to the board Steven.
Youtube is a belter for accessing these switches - you'll need to remove the shifter surround and ski slope (reverent sam a member on here posted how on youtube), then unscrew the switchpacks you need to access. Be careful with the connector blocks, and have the battery disconnected for safety instead of finding blown fuses... Jaguar supply the bulbs, I went to the extreme of replacing every bulb with led's, all soldered so I never have that job to do again ;) |
Hi Sean, thanks for the info..........
I took out the ski slope the other day, then removed the screws holding in the radio and climate control unit..I then tried to pull both units from the dash. I gave up as they weren't for coming out easily.... is there something I'm not doing......or should they come out with ease ? |
When you say remove the ski slope, does that mean the whole leather centre consul or just the walnut insert...

Thanx Alan :)
Quick question, do the fronts pop of the switches individually to change the bulb behind them ? |

LED's are typically brighter than standard incandescent bulbs. Did replacing the bulbs with LED's make the switches too bright? |
