Hi.

Anyone know where I can find this part?

Thanks.

 

Where have you tried so far?

Jaguar dealer, perhaps?

Or, Coventry West, Motorcars Ltd., Welsh Jaguar, SNG Barret, Paul's Jaguar?

You can go to the JDHT web page and use their parts catalog to get a part number (you'll need the last 6 digits of the VIN) and from there do some Googling.

From the subject line of your posting I gather that you've determined the dash lights don't work becuase of a faulty signal switch? Yes?

Are you sure?

If you could be a bit more forthcoming on details it might be helpful. We don't bite :-)

Cheers

Hi, Doug.

Thanks. So far, that's what my buddy (who works on the car) is saying; it's that part. Unless you have another idea?

I'll follow your suggestions. So far, JagBits has one. I'd like to see if I can find a competitive price.

Cheers.

Hi, Doug.

Still looking for the part. I wish I knew more about the car, or repairs--I'm trusting a local mechanic here, who says that it's a faulty signal switch.

Will try the places you recommended: JagBits and the dealer say no, so far. I'd welcome any other suggestions. Anyone?

Cheers.

Are you saying that the indicators (turn lights) don't work or just the panel lights that don't flash? Or is it all the panel lights not working?
It might just be a dodgy earth behind the instrument panel.

 

or it could be the hazard switch. turn signal power goes through the hazard switch.

not long ago, my turn signals went out on me. no dash lights, no "clicking," no exterior turn signal lights when i moved the stalk.

hazards would only go on if i pushed in and held the hazard switch.

some have reported vigorous actuation of the hazard switch will clear the contacts and all will be normal.

if you need to drive the car, you can remove the switch and jump the top/rear two contacts (i forget the numbers) to enable the turn signals to work. but you wont get hazard use unless you make a 4 way jumper wire and jump the bottom four.

do they even teach hand signals in driving school anymore?

 

On my 88 I had a bad turn signal stalk unit. I bought a replacement from a dismantlers and it worked great for a whole 3 days! Fortunately it was cheap. Since I had nothing to loose and 2 units to work with, I drilled apart the mechanism and was able to refurb both units and they both worked great. Not hard at all. Maybe you could give it a shot?

 

Thanks, all.

I've found a used turn signal stalk/switch, so we'll see.

I'll put up the results here.
