Where is the amplifier for the audio system located on an s type jaguar 2002

the jaguar audio system in your car is made to fit in the console stack so to get one to fit is not easy the best way is to get a premium jaguar audio unit for that model/year car ie with amplifier module etc and fit that so not to destroy the origional console fitment. depending the exact model/year the system may also use d2b fibre optic for audio transfer if its the all alloy version 2002 on thats the system not easy to change audio system in modern cars like that. hope that helps

sounds like a d2b network problem.or a faulty cd unit or audio head unit check powers and grounds to cd unit first, if ok have the fault codes read out of the audio head unit by someone with jag. diagnostic equipment

Don't know off hand (fuse locations already been posted), but think the actual Amp location may be in the luggage comp (boot), left side above the CD Stacker unit, OR, again in boot, under the parcel shelf, i.e. front end of luggage comp under rear shelf.
