Hi, 99 xj8l vandenplas, just discovered my taighlights are out as I watched my wife drive away. I had previously changed the relay in my battery compartment to no avail. Any suggestions?

 

I've moved your post from Jaguar Forums Advice / Feedback & Suggestion Center section to X308 section. The Advice/Feedback section is for posts about the forum and not for technical questions.

Members here with the same model as you have will be able to help with the tail lights.

When you get a minute, please follow this link New Member Area - Intro a MUST - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the New Member Area - Intro a MUST section and post some info about yourself and your vehicle for all members to see. In return you'll get a proper welcome and some useful advice about posting to the forum.

Forum member Avern1 resolved his no tail lights issue - quote:
"the hinge of the trunk on the passenger side is a wire bundle clipped to the hinge. I would start there before chasing modules. The wires fray and break in the bundle. Remove the wrappings, and examine each of the wires. I located the bad section by leaving the lights in the on position and then moving the wires flexing and pushing the individual wire until i found the area where the contact was lost.
I cut out the bad sections splice in and insulated new wires and all was "good as new"
Hope this is your problem and the fix will be easy."

Thans Jim, your advice worked perfectly! I appreciate the time you took to research the problem. The lights were working within an hour! You saved me a lot of time and expense.
