Replying to: rozmotentravis (Aug 22, 2007 8:44 am) I did not have the same problem as you are having, so I won't guess how to fix it. I don't know where the latch sensor is. I also don;t know how to flush the fluid myself, I would refer this to a qualified mechanic. The lubricant the mechanic used on the latch was just something like WD40. Best of luck, Tamir |

Replying to: svp (Jun 18, 2007 9:05 pm) Have them test your battery. I have a 2000 xk8 and it had a few funny electrical problems and I asked them to check. BTW electrical engineer. |

Replying to: pickers30 (Nov 15, 2007 1:29 pm) I am sorry about the late response. I had to have the top fixed by the shop. Apparently, one of the sensors were misaligned. Not sure which one it was but I guess it was the one on the back. Chris |

| My 98 XK8 convertible has developed a new quirk. When I signal for a right turn the console lights go out (except the radio and climate control). When the signal cancels the lights come back on. It seems related to the signal switch. Is this something a home mechanic can handle? If so where can I find the repair procedure? Thanks in advance for any input. | |
| my 99 xk8 conv, after setting all winter in the garage has developed a problem that the top will not open nor will the rear windows go up. the battery checks good but has a drag on it that runs the battery down with everything off. i detect a slight clicking sound when the roof down button is pressed but nothing happens, any ideas? could it be a relay? the fuses are all good. | |

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Nov 05, 2006 11:35 am) Interestingly when this happens there is distortion in the radio followed by no treble for 30-45 seconds. Given this there appears to be a disturbance of the electrical system under load. The car had previously gotten some water on Coil #8 when the old owner washed the motor. The check engine light has not come back on since drying the coil but the rust seen on the #8 coil leads me to think it happened before and might be the culpret. Anyone had this set of issues? Coils? Alternator? Thanks, Brent
