Any ideas? Connected together? ( 1997 XK8 )

 

If you do a search you will find extensive information here. Yes, they are connected. Below is a starting point.

Unless you find some one to read the ABS codes, you will shooting in the dark.

 

Will one of the local auto parts stores, ie AutoZone be able to read these type codes with the readers they have?

I am missing ALL 3 of the fuses it says to check in the boot fuse box.

In the Jagrepair photo the fuses have big yellow pieces on them, what kind of fuses are these?

And after further inspection of those three empty fuse bays, there is nothing underneath them, there is nothing for them to slide into and connect to, does this make sense?

I technically do have a 5 fuse on the fourth slot on the RIGHT side of the box, not sure if that is supposed to be there or not? ( this one is fit into the fuse connector and is tight in place )

 

I just went out and checked my car, there are fuses under the orange plastic caps. I have no idea why the caps are there. My clunky old computer is having trouble with the pdf file, but I was able to confirm with the car.

 

Did you happen to look at the 4th on 7th fuse on the left and see what they go into? There is nothing for the fuse to plug into on mine, just an empty slot to put the fuse in.

 

Your two ABS 30 Amp ABS pump fuses are missing....that would no doubt cause the faults.

 

When I put a 30 amp fuse in each of them, they just sit in their because of gravity, there is nothing holding them in, like there is nothing underneath the plastic fuse board panel for them to actually "plug" into?

 

Your car may have some mismatched parts. Do you have an ABS pump next to the fusebox?

 

Can you tell me exactly where it is located? I have tried looking on here and google and can't find it. Thanks

 

 

Yes I do have a ABS pump, now what do you think?

 

See above...you should be looking at the fusebox in the engine compartment.

 

I do have the abs pump and module that are connected, right next to the fuse box on the drivers side, closer to the front bumper, under the plastic panel.

 

The picture you posted yesterday was of the fusebox in the trunk, not the fusebox under the hood. The ABS fuses are in the fusebox under the hood.

 

Sorry for being so clueless, all three of those fuses are perfectly fine.

Should my next step be getting the codes read or finding someone who can do what is described in the TASK on that link regarding disconnecting the ABS multi plug from ABS controller ETC?

Will any of the chain stores be able to read these type codes?

 

I have the same problem

In my opinion, you should own a code reader if you own a Jaguar. I bought mine for $20 off eBay and can use my smartphone with it to graph real-time data. It makes me appreciate the car even more!

 

They can not read ABS codes at the stores. I think some of the smart phones? apps may be able to do so, but I am clueless there. I have Autoenginuity in my laptop, but that's about $500. It has saved me that much in the past 1 1/2 years.

 

I tried reading it with my $30 dollar reader and kept failing, tried it like 5-6 times, I have an Android phone, any suggestions on trying to use it read the codes?
