Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Nov 05, 2006 1:28 pm) I have a 1988 Vandenplas with an electrical issue with the brake lights. i have replaced the rear lamp relay module with 2 different ones and am still getting intermittent failure of the brake light. I have also re-wired the grounds. Any hints?     Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Aug 09, 2009 8:15 pm) jaguar13126 (Aug 10, 2009 6:42 pm) Mr_Shiftright (Aug 10, 2009 9:07 pm)

Replying to: jaguar13126 (Aug 09, 2009 6:13 pm) When you say intermittent do you mean the lights sometimes work sometimes don't?   Have you check the brake light switch itself for loose wires, etc? I'm not sure if yours is brake pedal activated or master cylinder activated (mechanical switch or hydraulic pressure switch).

#66 of 71 Re: XJ8L GEM module? [goodkitty] by scottthorn Aug 11, 2009 (5:26 pm)
Replying to: goodkitty (Aug 06, 2009 7:51 am) I got it to a shop that knows what they are doing - they had to replace the transmission module, engine module, and key module - all used, and several thousand dollars later - everything was fine. 3 months later, I turned the key and nothing! It's back at the same shop - they say the transmission module is gone again and that it is a very rare thing, so they are keeping it for a while to drive around and see if there is something else that might have caused the failure. I'm considering getting it running and selling it fast, even though I love it.   - Scott

My car too low light came on and after a while my suspension failure light came on just trying to find if someone had this issue before and what to do? The dealer said it might be the compressor a 1000 dollar repair. Please help. 2005 JXL
#68 of 71 Rear lamp module by jaguar13126 Aug 23, 2009 (12:31 pm)
I have an issue with the turn signal. The turn signal does not work when the brake is applied. I have replaced the rear lamp module with used part and the same thing still happens. I still get the lamp out warning in the driver information center. are there any fixes for this with updated modules? Any suggestions?
#69 of 71 Oil Pressure gage on 88 XJ6 by denny_88_xj6 Aug 24, 2009 (8:17 am)
I've only had the car for a few months, the oil pressure gage has never worked. It goes from 0 to MAX as it pleases. I suspect the sending unit is flakey. Does anyone know the specs on the sending unit, the resistance range it uses? These sending units are almost impossible to get and very expensive. I would like to try to adapt one from another car. If I can find one that works, I would be happy to share the info.

Replying to: realliferambo (Mar 31, 2009 9:55 am) 1998 XJ8 driver's door window problem...window stayed up. Was told i needed a new module. Disconnecting the battery worked but only for about 6 window operations. Fixed everything by removing the door module, cleaning up the terminals with a soft brass brush and applying contact cleaner before re-assembling. Good luck,
