If you ask at a bodywork repair shop, they will tell you what is required by name. Try not to buy Jaguar parts as they are grosly overpriced. They are the same as the Ford parts.

Look in the handbook. https://www.manualsdir.com/manuals/132858/jaguar-s-type.html?download

try removing rear seats to obtain access

There are 3 power distribution boxes (fuse and relay boxes) the one containing the radio fuses is called "the Primary Junction Box" and it's located on the right side of the instrument panel (on the passenger side) behind a small panel. Check a brown 5 amp fuse (F2) and a yellow 20 amp fuse (F18). Hope this helps.

The problem ended up being transient; I rarely restart my phone. Somehow it got stuck in 'on call' mode, so the proximity sensor was enabled despite nothing being running. A reboot resolved the silly issue. (Source:https://www.apogeeweb.net/electron/what-is-a-proximity-sensor.html)

#7 cylinder is the 3rd cylinder back on the drivers side you might have a bad coil thats what i would replace first unless when you take the coil out there is oil on it if so your valve cover gaskets are leaking you will need to fix that first

Should see about 4 plastic push pins holding
inner fender shield

I assume you going after the fuel filter or pcm
connnectors etc

There are tools for that,but you can use pliers or
a screw driver to pull pin out part way,then the round
fastener

Simple fault finding will get to the fault. Use a test lamp and voltmeter to check the power line feeding the ignition system but check the alarm first as disconnecting the battery can cause it to cut out the ignition power.

Try take power off radio and see will it reset

Number 1 tip, if you go away again, buy a digital battery minder, and leave the battery connected. https://www.google.com/search?q=2012+jaguar+xjl+portfolio+unlock+trunk+won%27t ..

the normal prob is caused by the wiring around rh trunk hinge broken removing supply to release motor. you have a manual key slot in rh of trunk lid think its in either of the trunk badges or the plinth this siezes up because everyone uses the remote or dash switch but when the wiring fails you cant use the key slot try spraying plenty of relase fluid in the slot say wd40 and gently keep trying to free it off that has allways worked for me when you get in remove the plastic rh trunk hinge cover and repair fractured wiring good luck

the little teeth on the front axles maybe hanging up give these websites a try www.autozone.com and www.alldatadiy.com if all fails stop by your local Jaguar dealership in the parts department and they can print you out pictures and diagrams wish you the best Michigan Man.

Same thing has happened on mine!
The solution is to reprogram the window limits. You need to sit in the car with doors shut! Turn the key in ignition in position I or II, roll down the window all the way and keep holding the switch for 5 seconds, then roll the window up and again keep the switch pressed for 5 seconds, repeat same steps for other door.
Reprogramming is also described in the owners manual. I don't know how mine became deprogrammed, should only happen if the battery is disconnected!

I'm having a similar issue to the one described in this post:

However, I can not find an inertia switch. I have a 1998 Jaguar XK8 convertible. Does being a convertible make a difference in this switch's location?
I removed the passenger kick panel and also checked in the fuse box door on the dash at the passenger side. Thank you.
