running lights/instrument lights-1994 xjs cvt

Hello George and Steven: We took your advice. I downloaded the electrical ebook from the Jag-Lovers site, which identified all the electrical components and their locations. Then we substituted the side light relay with one that we knew was ok, and lo and behold, there was light all around, including the instrument panel!!!! We also called Coventry West and ordered the five relays that are on the bank. Next is the cigar lighter fuse, and the boot light fuse. We thank you for your time and consideration. Stew and Ali King

Thanks George for all your time this morning. Stew and Ali King

George: Thanks also. Have to get this one up to concours specs; winter jobs! Ali

Thanks Steve, this '94 is a replacement for a like 1996 that hurricane Irene totalled for me.
Had the '96 since '96, was like losing part of the family! Thanks again, Ali

Alice they have sep. fuses but are linked in the master lighting switch. Try turning it on and off a few times. Bet it is dirty or has been water damaged.

One of the relays above the LF wheel inside the engine compartment is the 'sidelights relay'. Probably went south on you. It controls all the markers, tail lamps and instrument illumination lamps. I think on your car it's a blue relay. (one of four or five in that location) Would not be a bad idea to change out all of them due to their age.

Cheers,
