J-Gate shifter gear lights not working. None of my gear indicator lights on my shifter work. I replaced the 2 backlight bulbs and they work now but the indicator lights don't work. I see no switches for the shifter to hit to work the lights. Searched the forum with no luck. Any help would be great.

 

 

Sorry... 1997 XK8 Convertible;
Also the Blue programing light does not come on to program the remote.
If someone can steer me in the right direction.

 

The selector lever illumination module is a 'listen-only' node on the CAN bus.

I would read EVERY module on the CAN bus for DTCs.(the network wiring is a series twisted pair connecting the modules)

You can check the continuity of the network with an Ohm Meter to see if you have approximately 60 Ohms on the DLC pins 6 and 14.

Gus will have the electrical guide on his site. (jagrepair.com)

The NETWORKS are towards the end of the document S97_XK8.pdf.

 

Did That... What should be next test.

 

There are 5 nodes on the CAN bus. All except the selector lever illumination module can log DTCs.

You should interrogate ALL the modules for codes.

 

WOW I'm lost. I thing this is beyond me unless these are some dummy instructions in how to do this.

 

Where is the GEAR SELECTOR MODULE located. Would that be the circuit board under the shifter?

 

What you are calling the J-Gate shifter gear lights is the part that Jaguar calls the selector lever illumination module.
