recheck that wires are seated correctly and wires are not defective --

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)

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

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.

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!

Look in your owners manual for correct figures.

Don't mess with it and take round to yer local Jag mechanic right away before ya blow the hell out of it and you'll be up for thousands of $ instead of a coupla hundred.

My crystal ball has the fog. Colours for what precisely.

The first thing you need to do is remove the fan and fan cover...you may need to remove some of the cooling hoses to make room and get it out...once you remove the fan and cover you should have more room to work...

Engine rebuild with new piston rings/valves/head gasket, whichever is the cause.

It would be odd for both rear speakers to fail at the same time. I would first check the fader setting and make sure it is not set to only the front speakers.

If you can do that, instruction for your specific model is in your user manual.
