No problem, thanks for the comment its what we aimed to achieve with the video and our other videos on the channel. Glad it was of use. Cheers.

Thanks for the comment, glad it was useful. Thanks Damian

Bernard, no problem thanks for the feedback. We are running an Advent XK8 Quiz this month. Answer all 25 questions and then there is a prize draw, regards Damian

Olddavid4, thank you for taking the car time to comment. We try to include as much detail as possible about the X100, regards Damian

Craig, glad you found it useful, regards Damian

Trevor, Thank you for the comment. That's great information about the fob batteries. I didn't know that about the battery options. Much appreciated will try to include that fact somewhere, regards Damian

Checked the handbook and can't find a mention of it anywhere its doing my head in this, lol

Mikeyboy68, thanks for the comment and compliment. Glad it was helpful. More stuff on the channel if you need it, regards Damian

@@ODRModurol I have a XKR 2000 supercharged model having the ABS light coming on every now and then now on all the time it started when i would reverse out and turn sharply right i thought it might be a sensor or the wiring but havent been able to pin point it so just wanted to check all the fuses

Universesify, sorry can’t help much as I don’t have a convertible, however, here is the electrical diagram. drive.google.com/file/d/1pSM62OMDqwpPGiXUnN0cJ3PFwgFzgX-L/view It’s for the MY1999 but others available of different years. Hope that helps, regards Damian

DJ Fred, glad you found it useful. Much appreciate the comment. Happy motoring regards Damian

Llyr, Thank you for the feedback, glad it helped in some way, regards Damian

Paul, the footwell lights do not remain on whilst driving. Hope that helps, regards Damian

Mrs Porter, Location of the Major instrument fuses are the drivers side fascia fuse box (behind the end of the dash cover). Either F4, 5 amp or F14 10amp. Not sure it will be that simple but worth a try. There is a dimming control on the steering column and dimming control module on the passenger side. You can find the wiring diagram here tdrive.google.com/file/d/14mQL-VMEQUYQxatDRAGNDIdaHZE2cKr7/view . Page 81 of 152 shows 10.2 Dimmer Controlled Lighting wiring diagram. Hope that helps, regards Damian

Patrick, I will try to help if I can. What are the exact symptoms blown bulbs or no power to a particular bulb? Regards Damian Here is a link to the wiring diagram for MY1999 other years available on our website. drive.google.com/file/d/1pSM62OMDqwpPGiXUnN0cJ3PFwgFzgX-L/view

Bernard, thanks for your comment and support. It really makes a difference. Regards Damian

David, sorry I don't have a convertible but I believe there is a row of six black relays in the trunk next to the fuse box. Convertible top x 2, LH quarter window x 2 and RH quarter x 2 (one each for up and down). Here is a link the technical bulletin for convertible top problem diagnosis. Hope that helps, regards Damian. www.jagrepair.com/images/AutoRepairPhotos/501-11AM.pdf

Louis, LHS front inner wing/bumper area near the horn and fog light. This link might help with photos. www.jaguarforums.com/forum/xk8-xkr-x100-17/electrical-plug-212858/#post2014350 Thanks for the feedback and comment, regards Damian

P Gansz, try turning the Air-Con off. The fans will run if the engine is running and the air-con is on. Assume this is to assist with reducing the Air-Con temperature by increasing airflow over the Air-con radiator. Are they running just with the battery connected and the engine off? Thanks for the comment regard Damian

Terry, The answers are in the video, at 3mins 45 secs in. There are three fuses involved, all located in the engine bay fuse box. F4 5A ABS Module, F16 30A ABS Valves and F18 30A ABS Pump. Hope that helps, best of luck, regards Damian

Just put in a brand new battery but I was having this before too

@Kellier1916, Sorry I have no experience of that fault. Normally, it’s best to start with a physical check for wiring damage around the module. To blow the fuse there might be sort in the loom somewhere. Then try a code reader and read the error codes. This should give you some clues as to the fault. Sorry cannot be more helpful, regards Damian

@@ODRModurol çode reader I have can't access anything, I can't hear the fuel pump coming on... Possible that's dead and why I'm getting cranky no start. Side note I let her run out of petrol the other day 😔

She was driving fine up untill that but still blowing that fuse the odd time... I must have a short somewhere

Matt, might try locating the exterior lights fuse which should be located in the passenger side dashboard end fuse box. Possibly fuse 17 - 15 amps. This is for all the exterior lights and high power sockets. So if you don't have other things not working possibly not a fuse issue. Might be a bad earth on the rear registration light units. Hope you sort out the issue. Thanks for the comment regards Damian

Parker Family, there is no relay for the reverse lights. They are controlled by the 'Security and Locking Control Module' and the signal coming from the 'Automatic Transmission' switches. Check out wiring diagrams 9.3 and 5.3. Probably one of the J Gate switches aren't working. I believe its probably the linear switch not sensing Reverse. Hope that helps, regards Damian

Glenn, I think boot fuse box, Fuse 10, 20amps, called security and locking control module. Hope that helps, regards Damian

Trevor, sounds unusual. There are some fuses to check (actual Fuse positions in the box might vary with model year). For the key transponder in the Drivers side fuse dash end fuse box fuse No6 5amps. Forward LHS engine compartment the alarm security sounder Fuse 3, 5amps. But favourite is Luggage compartment Security and Locking control module Fuse 10, 10amps. Hope that helps. If not you might needs a new battery in the fob and/or reprogramme to the car Thanks for the comment regards Damian.

Trevor, contacts of the remote might need cleaning. Link to the cleaning method -jagrepair.com/Remotefor1999xk8.htm, regards Damian

Trevor, you might need to re-programme the remote if so take a look a John Dee's Video. Link herekzfaq.info/get/bejne/jLyef72apr6lj4k.html . Hopefully you have a few things to try. Hope you find a fix if so please let us know what the solution was. Thanks for the comment regards Damian

Mikeyboy68, early XKRs like yours had two fuel pumps. Not sure about whether it had two relays, I would assume it does or at least shared with another relay. Sorry I can’t look at my car because it’s an XK8🙁. Hope that helps. If I find out I will let you know, regards Damian

Mikeyboy68, just checked the wiring diagram for your car Fig4.5 page 37 of 129 link at the bottom. Your car has two pumps inside the fuel tank fed from a single relay👍. Hope that helps at bit more. Problem with fuel delivery? Regards Damian. drive.google.com/file/d/1pSM62OMDqwpPGiXUnN0cJ3PFwgFzgX-L/view

@@ODRModurol the diagnostic tool is telling me that i have a crook fuel pump relay no 2 he car runs perfectly so i am confused thanks for getting back to me

Mikeyboy68, ok understood. From what I understand the XKR uses two fuel pumps one for normal load and the other for higher demand. If one packs up the other will still supply the fuel but assume at some point in the throttle you will get lack of power. It’s a bit confusing because the name of the relay is ‘Fuel pump 2’. Not meaning the second pump relay but relay feeding 2 pumps. Let us know how you fit the issue. Good luck regards Damian

@@ODRModurol sorry its saying relay 2 fuel pump

JVickers187, accidents happen and it is probably been protected by a fuse. There is a fuse for the head-unit and separate fuse for the amplifier if you are lucky enough to have premium audio. Hope its just the fuse. Thanks for the comment regards Damian.

@@ODRModurol The fuse worked! Thanks!! However, there is no sound now. Maybe the amp?

JVickers187, getting there👍. Try the amp fuse its located in the luggage compartment fuse box. Fingers crossed that works, regards Damian

@@ODRModurol Perfect - that did the trick! All up and running now - thanks again!

JVickers187, result! Excellent really glad you got it sorted, thanks for the comments regards Damian

@FederalTracks, I am not a gearbox expert but don't believe you will hurt the transmission by using it as it was designed (ie the manual side of the j-gate). Its the best way to get some decent performance when changing up by holding onto the gears. The only time the VVT units actually get used. Changing down doesn't really help with braking on an auto jusdt got to be careful not to overrev but there are protected rev limits I believe. Only thing to be mindful of it the age and state of the gearbox. Either way you need to use and not wrap it up in cotton wool. I suggest to take a look at this video for more info kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nLOnnpyUnKeRlnU.html Thank for the comment regards Damian

@@ODRModurol yes looked at the vid thank u ...i love these cars man i cant express how blessed i feel to own one

@FederalTracks, great looking cars and always lots of projects to do on them, regards Damian

Dave, no problem, if you have any suggestions for content please let us know. Thanks for your support, regards Damian

Dave, No but we can work it out from the electrical diagram Pages 27 (permanent live) and Page 28 (switched live) drive.google.com/drive/folders/1IkUjTiD1gmNcwScUIf8f1vNcFpfxPsKk Actually doesn't matter LHD/RHD. Fuses #10 (5amp), #12(10amp), #14(10amp) and #16(5amp) all switched live. All other fused are permanently live. MY1999 to 2002 inclusive. The answer is fuse #17 'accessories' should be permanent live. Hope that helps. Please let me know if it's correct. Note anything connected will be 'ON' all the time and therefore a potential battery drain. Thanks for the comment regards Damian

@@ODRModurol Thanks Pal. thats a great help. I got a 3A,12v dual usb converter that I want to use for a mobile phone charger leaving me a spare usb if I need it later. I will make sure I double check before I fit. Couldnt get out today as it was raining all day but got to solder my wires for the front and rear light mods :)

Dave, no problem. Slow but steady progress 😉 regards Damian

Alan, not on an X100 (1996-2005) as behind the rear seat is a solid bulkhead separating the cabin and the fuel tank in the luggage compartment. Thanks for the comment regards Damian

Ah ok thanks, so need to find fuse 19 for the exhaust valve in another fuse box, watched the video but couldn't see it any ideas? Cheers for the response

Alan, different car but take a look at this reference, might help. www.jaguarforums.com/forum/xk-xkr-x150-33/xkr-owners-pull-fuse-19-a-87400/ Thanks for the comment regards Damian

Viraf, you will probably find what you are looking for in 'Jaguar Forums'. www.jaguarforums.com/forum/xk8-xkr-x100-17/xk8-xkr-how-diy-repair-maintenance-links-facts-data-29800/ Thanks Damian

Viraf, according to a 2002 fuse chart, Luggage compartment fuse box, fuse 12 RHS Rear qtr 20amps and fuse 20 LHS rear qtr 20amps, hope that helps, Thanks Damian

@@ODRModurol Thanks Damian After that I'm wondering if it is the fuses if there are 2 as both my rear windows wont go up after my hydraulic hood pipe blew. I'll have a look though. Thanks

Try the forum to see if someone has had the same problem. ;-)

FederalTracks, which stereo/audio system do you have standard or premium? The premium audio powers the speakers through an amp mounted above the CD multi-changer. I would suggest double checking the fuses for radio and the amp. When you disconnect the battery, the radio will need a code to reset. Any other clues? Thanks for the comment regards Damian

@@ODRModurol premium

FederalTracks, probably the amp. Assume the radio turns on, scene comes on and illuminates? Try amp fuse, luggage compartment fuse 18, 30 amps. The radio fuse is in dash end fuse box I think Left hand side fuse 9, 10 amps, depends on year of manufacture as some fuses change. Hope that helps, regards Damian

@@ODRModurol 100% thanks

FederalTracks, no problem please let us know what the fix ends up being as lots of people have this issue from time to time. Thanks for the comment regards Damian

Thomas, see passenger side (LHS) fuse box. Fuse 12 (5 amps). See video at 5min 45 secs onwards for more details. Hope that helps regards Damian

Thank you so much for your reply,it's good people like you that help us keep these great cars great however my radio fuse is good.the nav system ,and the c.d.player didn't work when I got it,but I really miss the radio,,,,,,thx Tom.

The fuse was good,any other thing that woul keep my radio from working, Did work before good,what else do i check?also the auto antena does not work,help please gotta have a radio!

Alan, don't give up. Here's a link to the Owners Handbook on the Jaguar website. Go to the pages Fuses 215, 222. It shows where and how to get access the rear seat fuse box. Also shows the location of the F19 Active exhaust (10amp red second row up, on in from right had end). Looks easy enough to try. www.jaguar.co.uk/Images/XK_Owners_Handbook_09MY_tcm91-26483_tcm634-546618.pdf Hope that helps, regards Damian. (PS what year of manufacture is your car because this may help identify the correct handbook, there are several on the Jaguar site see here www.jaguar.co.uk/owners/handbooks-guides/xk-library.html)

Il have a look, really appreciate the help

Don't think my car has it, found the correct handbook for it and nowhere does it mention an active exhaust fuse on 19, don't get it.

Forgot to say its a 2002 September model with 4.2 supercharged engine

Alan, there are several fuse19s one in each fuse box. Make sure you are looking at the rear seat compartment fuse box it’s definitely in there. See page 213 2021-MY2012 owners handbook. If you have supercharger it’s definitely got one as standard. Regards Damian.

Thomas, Thank you for the feedback. might need re-record this one, regards Damian

Apologies, you are correct this from my UK (RHD) 1996 coupe manual, thanks Damian
