in my Series 3 it is located behind the dash gauges, in a line of relays above the fuse box.

Default ignition

Thanks Jose'
I did send for a manual for a 1972 xj6 from Johns cars. Hopefully that will help? I don't know what series it is, do you? I hear a click when grounding it with a separate wire from the distributor that I have jerry rigged. It does not come from that area? Even had a women listen to it and she confirms it comes from somewhere in the dashboard about center above the bell housing.
Thanks for your response though. I will post the solution when?
Pat

since the engine has been changed, I have no idea what may have been done.

In a conversion, I'm not sure why an ignition relay is involved. Some detail as to the Id of the GM engine might be of assistance. A carb engine or a more sophisticated FI.


If a carb GM. Back track from the coil + post. to see where it gets the power. In the simplist installation, the ignition switch. A lead that is hot only in run or start.


A kill by ground is a weird way to do it!!!

It is under the dash pad...near glove box in LHD. Other relay on LH side is for fans?

Jag never showed the location of the relays nor the "bullet" connectors.. bad documentation.
