My Jaguar is a 1994 XJ6. It would not start one day so I had it taken to the dealer. After $1000 they said it was fixed. (bad wire in the harness they said) Got the car home and it would not start. Cranks but no juice to coil or distributor. They will not fix the problem without charging more. Help.

Hello, anyone have any ideas on this subject. I have an 2006 XJ8, the windows work as long as the head lights are not on. They will not go up or down when the head light switch is in auto or in normal mode. Took to the local dealer and they have no idea, they did have a wiring diagram but the mechanic couldn't figure it out.

I'd check the alternator output when every one of the car's accessories is on, to see how the alternator is handling high demand.

i'm thinking of buying a 1984 xj6, but it has no brake lights working. is this an easy fix or is it headache waiting to happen. i've heard about electrical issues on other years, but i can't seem to find any for the 1984!

That shouldn't be too difficult to fix. Find out where the brake light switch is (brake pedal area most likely) and then by pass it with a jumper wire. If both brake lights go on, you know the problem was the switch. If the fuse blows, or is already blown, then you have more serious issues to deal with.
If you want the best XJ6 of that body style, 85-86 could be a better choice for you since they have fuel injection, not old-fashioned carburetors. Better gas mileage and cold starts.

The problem is the drivers door modual, change it and all will be fine. Look in the trunk, under the carpet on the divers side to get the correct code for the mondual.Don't try to buy used,turns out to be a waste of money. The mondual cost almost $400. Was fairly easy to cange myself.
Hope this helps

I too had the same problem and Ken told me to change my driver door module. Before I did this I went out to the car and disconnected my battery for 5 minutes and reconnected and then It works great again. The sunroof works right and the window goes up and down and no more issues. No 476.73 for the door module either. Might try that first, no telling ho many fixes can be done by rebooting the computer modules and save those thousands of dollar fixes. My car also seems to get better fuel mileage now 18.4 in the city where it used to be 17.3. The battery cable was a slight bit loose. Check that also....
