It works, and powers the speakers (that don't sound stock) in the doors.
There's wiring for a second amp and a sub. Fair do. I guess that'll be on the wishlist.

Re: Y2k Jag XJ8

Ime on those bulbs, once one blows others are due to blow soon after. The shock of removing the cluster can kill the other marginal bulbs. Plus old bulbs are dimmer and it's obvious especially with backlight bulbs when only some have changed. Yup. The knocks and bumps finished off the last two bulb...

Re: Y2k Jag XJ8

Just ordered a pack of the little "grain of wheat" style bulbs that go in the switches, climate panel and gear shifter.

Re: Y2k Jag XJ8

The 'track' and position numbers should be green, I think it only comes on with the lights. i only noticed as the S for sport looked illuminated but I couldn't see the button next to that for the cruise (if yours has it). Ah, okay. No the track doesn't light up green. The cruise button is also burn...

Dash out, bulbs out. All four will be changed, one only left working, the third the filament broke as I pulled it.

I'll get some more bulbs

Re: Y2k Jag XJ8

Eww that does look shyte doesn't it? Gear selector lights out too? or just too bight to see them? those & the switches behind the gearstick are surface mount LEDs I think, so no issue to a man of your skills. Ignition was off. On, it lights the position up red. Should it have more than that?

Re: Y2k Jag XJ8

Ahh, I can't recall the make of the premium sound system but pretty sure it's not Alpine. I think Hardon Karmon & Bose depending on the age. If it's the original headunit then there's a switch on it somewhere to swap between the two types, I think it changes if the internal amp is used or not. ...

Re: Y2k Jag XJ8

The driver's seat is memory. The front cushion motor operates but doesn't move the cushion up or down. The hesdrest motor doesn't run at all, but I hear the relay operating when I move the switch. The amp is an Alpine, the nose of which sticks through the back left wheel cover. There's also a big bl...

Re: Y2k Jag XJ8

Battery and associated fancy computer controlled charger arrived. 20240417_161335.jpg Hooked it all up and put it to charge. It's sucking down the juice because it's been boxed up a while. 20240417_155602.jpg Windows, mirrors, sunroof, all of the passenger seat and all but 2 motors on the driver's s...

The aerodynamics of the car are bad enough, as is.
