- Fuse box Junction Box Locations on the XK and XKR 4.2. Also fuses for active exhaust and aerial mast. Basic Voltage checks.
Thanks so much for these videos! As a non-petrol head, but owning a beautiful XK, the videos are so quick and informative, and take the time out of ploughing through the manual. Very much appreciated. Keep up the good work Paul!
Thanks 😊
Mate great intel for us XK owners, I can't tell you how helpful and informative your vlog is for this American. You must have had an interesting journey with your father... Cheers!
I’m a new owner of a 2007 XK convertible with 60,000 miles checked out by the local jag mechanics in my town on the west coast of California. Of course British racing Green, and tan interior. These videos are very helpful thank you
My parents always had jag sedans growing up, all British racing green. I purchased my first jag 74KE convertible when I was 19 years old, British racing, green biscuit, interior four-speed, V12 wire wheels. I loved it and owned it for seven years before heading back to college. This XK 150 harkens me back to yesteryear and all those memories of owning the sexiest car in the world. When I smell the Connerly leather, it reminds me of my parents. Luckily, I have some photos of my first jag.
Great story. I think a lot of us Jag owners were influenced by our parents. Sounds like you have a fantastic example- feel free to drop some photos on my Facebook 🇬🇧👍
Helpful information…..My antenna on my 82 Corvette. Reminds me of good times too.. RIP to your Dad…
Fantastic big man , I urge anyone who needs to know something about their xk to go through your catalog of video’s, the answer will be there somewhere 👏👏
24:51 - Hi Paul, love the videos. I am a fairly new Jag owner, bought an 2011 XRR (175) in July and absolutely love it. We hail from the same area of the world, I was born in Newcastle but grew up in Chester-leStreet until I emigrated to Canada 23 years ago.
Glad you enjoy the videos
What area of Canada do you live in?
Enjoying the channel. This vid made me chuckle a couple of times. I know where you are with "The daughters Uni Fees" :) And also " if you need to take that red connector off; you've got serious problems" :) Nice one.😆
Excellent videos. I just bought an old 2007 XK. Your work is very helpful. Thank you.
Thank you and welcome
I have used the remote +ve terminal on my X100 a few times as it is easily accessible under the bonnet as part of the engine fuse box. On the X150, Jaguar moved the remote terminal onto the fuse box behind the rear seat centre section which is pretty useless if you actually need to access it. Perhaps worth pointing out to former X100 owners.
I removed the aerial fuse a year ago once I had installed a proper Bluetooth module which plays music and radio.
Another good video for the viewers would be a Bluetooth obd2 scanner linked to your phone shows the all important coolent temperature still think mines running a little hot after a thermostat change
🙏🎩so grateful for your work and videos.
Thanks 😊
Thanks for all the great content and advice it’s very helpful and informative. Could you demonstrate how to remove the front grille at some stage please. Thanks
Great video as per usual, keep up the content 👍
Thanks Paul for this..,👍🚗
Great stuff Paul. Thanks.
Great info, thanks Paul.
Great stuff Paul 👌
Fuse box fuse numbers change from model to model , year to year, option by option , sometimes the fuse you think it is .. isn’t.
Thanks Paul for another cracking video
Can I add Denso also supply very good spark plugs for the Jag which are a lot cheaper than NGK
Correct
Thank you Paul for the fuse panel tour. I've had my 2007 XK convertible for two years now and have yet to solve a lighting problem. Since the auxiliary fuse junction box may be the culprit, I thought to ping you for your opinion/recommendations. My door puddle lights, map lights and glove box lights do not seem to have power. The bulbs are fine and have done a bunch of testing at that end looking for the source of them being inoperable. I believe fuse F1 & F13 may be the junction feeding power to these?? I also heard from various forums there may be a relay in this same junction box that plays a role. Any help or direction is appreciated. Cheers. Rick.
Thanks again Paul, Great video as usual. I now know by name which junction box is which. Years ago I removed the F19 exhaust fuse and didn’t notice any change in the exhaust note so I replaced it thinking it may be protecting something. When you removed the XK back box and replaced it with the XKR back box did you notice any active components on the XK back box?
Thanks
Jay
Hi. There were no active components on my original exhaust. Jaguar must have just used the same fuse box for both models 🤔
@@life_on_cars Thanks Paul. I guess it was easier to leave the fuse in than pay someone to take it out. BTW I had a friend who was a great Jaguar mechanic and he said our XK’s have lots of Ford DNA in the ecm’s of that year.
@jaybehling5803 that's a good thing as I'm a big Ford fan. Especially the Mustang, Classic and Modern.
I got the same exact zip ties stock, must have been the ford accountants.
Thanks for letting me know 👍
Bloody adverts are everywhere now! Thanks Paul, good explanation as always. Still don't know how you find the time to get these out for us, i'm glad you do! Quick question this time.. Just above the mega fuses there is a black tubing going into the side of the battery, what is that for?
😂
Its the battery vent (gasses from charging)
Thanks for the info. (Interesting)
Years ago the automatic electric aerial was like a status symbol !
You should arrange an XKR meet bud. Would be good. Can all discuss all the issues we have with our cars! 😅😅
Yes I'm up for that maybe Spring 2024
@@life_on_cars good idea. When the weather should be half decent.
I will keep my red supercharged 5.0 xkr in good condition for when you want to buy it mate. 😊
P.s. removing fuse19 didn't make any significant difference to active exhaust so I just put it back in. I remember reading somewhere that leaving it open could make valves stick in time which could muck it up for ppl wanting to revert back to factory in future. 👍
I think I heard that you have to make sure the exhaust valve is in the open position before pulling the fuse
@@johncarey7786 possibly the case mate. Regardless Im not sure it's good long term.
@@johncarey7786 The active valve is held in the loud position by a spring. The fused actuator acts against the spring so you can remove the fuse with the engine off. The spring will always hold the actuator in the same position.
Thanks for another interesting video. I like the GB stickers on the side fins. Where did you find those? Thanks.

Maybe fuse just fitted as standard
Do you have and posts about convertible window functions and resetting them after a battery swap out.
Sorry I don't. Although I think it's fairly easy to find on the Internet 👍
Can you tell me where the relay is for the aircon lots of relays jaguar handbooks don’t say it says take to dealer
Auxiliary junction box (behind centre panel rear seat) houses the blower motor relay. If you watch the video, I think it's the grey colour one.
So, after watching this vid, reading the blogs and owners manual, f19 on my 4.2na is active exhaust and it’s populated with a fuse. I pulled it and no difference. Need to get my multimeter and see if it even has current going to it.
Don't think it does anything Buddy but would be fun to test for volts.
Great video mate, helped a lot. Are you a Teesside lad?
Yes I am!
@@life_on_cars good lad. I'm in Billingham. Just bought a XK so will be watching all the vids. Can you recommend a body shop that works on Aluminum bodywork? I have some spots of corrosion that need work.
I'm not sure about a bodyshop. Might be a good one to ask on the forums on FB
@@life_on_cars good idea, cheers 👍
I have the 2010 5.0 XKR (supercharged). A few weeks ago I was driving around with dynamic mode engaged. At the end of my drive I pulled into a fueling station and turned the car off. After I filled up the tank and turned the car back on, I got the “Adaptive Dynamics Fault” error on the dash. It’s just an error, not a true engine code. I tried resetting with an OBD II device to no avail. I also tried doing a hard reset disconnecting the battery. The error has stayed on permanently since it happened. It won’t let me engage dynamic mode or the snow setting. Car definitely feels a bit bumpier and stiffer on the road since the adaptive dynamics are related to the suspension partly. I’m also getting the tire pressure warning in all tires even though the pressure is fine in all of them. I read on the forums that this is probably a sensor that disconnected or fell off. But after watching this video I’m wondering if there are any fuses I could try checking first? I just think it’s weird that it happened after turning the car on at a fueling station instead of after hitting a bump suddenly or something or the car sitting around for a long time.
Hope you get it sorted soon. I'd start by checking things like the brake lights ( sounds crazy I know) and yes the fuses are worth looking at, if no luck, it would be getting a Jaguar dealer to scan the fault codes.
@@life_on_carsthat sounds right. Nice video!
By the way, I was laughing when you were in the back seat. The first time I opened the rear seat fuse panel was to remove fuse 19 for the exhaust like you mentioned. I am also 6 ft. I basically sat in the driver’s seat and reached around. I thought I was going to break a rib bone lol.
Probably one of the (4) ride height sensors. This would yield a hard ride, which I found annoying when this happened to mine. When a fault is detected, dampers revert to "firm" position.
It would be a random failure, not related to any type of driving. You didn't break it!!!
Haven't you got the XKR exhaust fitted to your car hence the fuse needs to operate the flaps.?
Hi. On the XK there are no vacuum pipework fitted to operate the valves. So mine are permanently fixed open. 👍
Hi there where is the ecm located on the xk mate?
Cheers
Under bonnet near pollen filter
@@life_on_cars cheers easy to get at or not mate
Not too bad @MrJimbo6
My headlight slightly missed up 🤷🏼♂️
One more thing. Get a Patreon acct. You deserve to get some money for your work. Set it up, I'll gladly throw you a few bones.
Appreciate that Buddy 😊
