2001 jaguar s type - Right tail lamp failure message.... I replaced bulbs and fuse and tail lights still don't work but the dual element right break light does illuminate when I press the break also right blinker and back up light also works but regular right tail lamp and parking lamp does not illuminate

My guess would be bad socket.

Brake light fuses should be in the "fuse box" under the hood.

You do not have a separate fuse for each side, if the left side works, replace the bulb in the right side that isn't working.

Yes, put the RIGHT BULBS in the right sockets.

Be mindful of single and dual element bulbs.

Should have acsess to lightbulbs in trunk of car.

Open trunk and remove any carpet or cover around light area.

Bulb should be in a socket,turn socket until it comes out of light lens.

check the bulb socket may be dirty or burnt

It's most likely not a switch problem but more of a lose connction within the socket of the lamp. Apply some bulb grease and this should remedy your problem.

The next time you notice it isn't working, try tapping the body panel next to the lamp and see if the light comes back on. If it does....it's the bulb socket.

check all the fuses, if fuses ok, then check the wire at the light connection, the jag is really a ford along with its faults, common fault is the earth on the light and the light bulb holder also plays up

First check the fuse of the indicator ,it may have been blown ...



Good luck...

I also have a 2000 Jaguar S type. I am having this same problem. I replaced the old bulbs with new bulbs. Look at the new bulbs you put it- did they fizz out immediately after you put them in? I didnt notice at first, but mine did. Look at the filament part inside the glass.

I think my problem is a short. I am getting it looked at this weekend to see.
