2006 xj8 passenger door open light on
Hello. It seems your Jaguar's door jamb switch is malfunctioning/defective. Door jamb switches make/break power to the interior lamps AND the 'information' panel in the instrument cluster. It's possible you got the wrong wires. Good luck and keep me informed; if you want to.

My xj8 trunk won't open
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
A RAT ATE A WIRE IN OUR 2001 XJ8. ITS THE ONE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE IN THE FEXIBLE WRAP COMING OUT FROM THE LEFT COVER WHICH CONNECTS TO A WIRE WHICH GOES THROUGH THE FIREWALL. HOW DO THEY CONNECT?
If you can isolate the damaged section of the wire harness, it can be repaired without removing the entire harness. At the damaged section, pull a single wire up away from the bundle and cut out the damaged section. Strip about a ΒΌ inch of the insulation from both cut ends to expose the copper wire. Get a spool of wire that is the same gage (or larger) and cut about four inches of that and strip the insulation from both ends. Use crimp type wire connectors and attach the new section of wire to the previously cut wire of the harness. Fold the repaired wire out of the way and pull another damaged wire from the harness and repeat the process described here. Continue until all of the damaged wires have been spliced. Fold the repaired splices and wrap several turns of electrical tape to tidy the appearance of the work. Do not do this work until you have disconnected the battery cables and do only one wire at a time to avoid getting a crossed circuit. Good luck.
