I agree.
You should hear the click if the gearshift is in "P". Otherwise, silence
The X300s have a common problem with the "Not In Park" micro-switch. It defeats the circuit when the transmission is, you guessed it, not in "P".
I'm assuming the XJS has the same sort of thing....although I'm not familiar with the specifics. A check of the wiring diagrams should tell us

I'm almost certain that's what it is in my case, given I get that brief Brake Warning/ABS Warning flash most times when I step on the pedal. I've just resigned myself to not counting on this car to have ABS to help me. Back when I still had my 88 XJ40, I never could get the ABS to work on it, either.
I always get the click, but I don't always get the light flash. I seem to get the light flash less when I'm in stop-and-go traffic and never get up to speed between braking incidents. But if I get up over 20 to 30 mph, it will flash pretty much every time.
