Jaguar XLS 1991 Engine wiring

Jose, I assure you, it can be rebuilt with the wiring diagram close by. I had never built a wiring harness, yet when I bought my 89 XJS that had a supposedly "new" harness built by a company that "builds" them "new", I found out the hard way that all that glitters is not gold. I bought wire, connectors, heat shrink tubing, and with my wiring diagram nearby, completely built a new harness. It took time, but came out very nice. And the car started right up!

Connectors and wire available online at DellCity.net , Mouser.com, Waytekwire.com, aircraftspruce.com. I got three different colors of wire but you could get away with one or two and use colored shrink tube to identify.
Use the crosslink wire its rated for higher temperatures. You need to buy the crimp tool made for the terminals. The standard industrial crimper wont do a proper crimp on them. Aircraft Spruce has crosslink wire in smaller quantities. To do a nicer job get some loom sleeving.
A harness is not difficult to build. The V12 fuel injectors are set up in groups of 3 and it doesnt matter the polarity at the injector.
