Default Another strange electric gremlin

Driving home last night I noticed that the drivers side seat adjustment back lights were out. Not only that but none if the controls worked. The passenger side was fine. My immediate assumption was a blown fuse but was in no mood to investigate in the dark. When I stopped I turned her back on again but no joy. Returned to the car this morning and all is OK. I have a 2007 XK with only 15k miles.
Anyone ever suffered this strange phenomenon or any clues on likely cause? Strikes me that the classic Jag gremlins are at work again.

Steve.

Most all of that stuff is controlled by the Central Junction Box(p/n C2P20668). Had mine replaced ($980 parts $190 labor) when the lights went out on my steering wheel and center console.
Hope yours is a simpler issue like loose wire or such...

The steering wheel controls have backlighting?

Vince,

Thanks. I thought it a bit strange that a car like this did not have steering wheel back lighting. Now I know what to ask for a Christmas present.
