Take it off and clean it thoroughly then try again.

Haha, good point I forgot about the speed, though mine work at low speed whilst turning into streets. A dark lane would be best as you can definitely see when the light up.

My next question would be, are you sure they are fitted?

There are parts available here, https://www.jagbits.com/category/XJ8_BodyMechanical_44.html

Check the light is in the correct position, it may be on a rocker switch. Or change the bulb.

Turning the steering wheel activates them. To check, have the engine running and lights on then turn the wheel left and right and have someone look to see the light activate.

You’re welcome, let us know how you get on.

Figure 06.1 of this manual refers and should help you out. http://www.jagrepair.com/images/AutoRepairPhotos/x2022001en.pdf

Excellent news and thanks for the update.👍

Welcome to the forum, enjoy.😊

Well known problem in the XJ, David. An independent specialist will be best if you don’t feel confident in taking apart yourself.

Plenty available on eBay, if you’re lucky you may find them in the right colour also.

If petrol then you really need to check the fuel pressure at the Schroeder valve before the rail. Fuel filter also should be checked.

You’re very welcome, hope you get it fixed.

May not be possible if it’s an insurance job.

Make sure both fobs have new batteries and only use quality batteries like Duracell.

Hi Barry, This thread has info and a picture that should help. https://www.jaginfo.org/threads/wiring-a-front-heated-screen.92441/

Welcome to the forum Geoff, enjoy.😊

Welcome to the forum, Phil. Some had a obvious switch in the centre of the panel others you simply press and it should open.

If you have a code reader, try resetting it or take the car for a drive. If it still doesn’t reset then further investigation is required.

It lives under the passenger side bonnet airbag, this thread has some info on where and how to remove it. https://www.jaguarforum.com/threads/battery-backed-alarm-sounder-on-2009-xf.137906/#post-1508667

There are 2 wear sensors, front left and right rear. Did you change the correct one? Check the connectors on both corners.

These are the ones I bought, David. All solid, fit perfectly and still look good today with no signs of rusting. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/20x-ALLO...rentrq:731334ab16d0a4b7b67e7f6dff7a4b99|iid:1
