1998 JAGUAR X308 fuse box

Clock - Clock
Description and Operation
The analogue clock is mounted in the center of fascia vent assembly and can only be removed after withdrawal of the fascia
vent assembly.
The clock is protected by a 5A fuse in lo cation F6 of the LH heelboard fusebox and illumination is controlled by the dimmer
module in the same manner as the other instruments.
The time displayed can be advanced using the positive button and retarded using the minus button.

Battery, Mounting and Cables - Battery and Cables Description and Operation
The battery has been designed specifically for Jaguar. It provides the high output which is required for this vehicle, but with a
substantial saving in weight. It is a low maintenance battery, located on the right ha nd side of the luggage compartment floor.
The negative (Ground) lead is connected to the vehicle body. The positive lead is connected to a high power protection module; from
here power is connected to the starter motor an d distributed to other systems on the vehicle.
The high power protection module comprises three fuses, each of 250A capacity. Two fuses are connected in parallel to provide
protection for the starter circuit. Th e third one provides high level protection for fusebox supply circuits .
PDU is unable to diagnose the overall condition of the battery - only that it is present and supplying battery voltage to the system.
To test the battery, follow the test procedure described in Section 414-02 Generator and Regulator of this Manual.
Although these tests will not actually test the battery, they will confirm that the generator, regulator and connecting cables are
working correctly and that conseq uently, the battery may be at fault. Alternatively, the tests may indicate that the fault lies in the
generator, regulator or wiring and not in the battery.

Belt tension is achieved by an automatic tensioner; neither the belt nor the tensioner require service apart from checking
the belt wear indicators at each normal service interval.
The minimum service life of the drive belt is 100,000 miles.
Never apply oil to the belt or to the belt tensioner.
Generator - Charging Circuit

Parts List
The main components of the charging system are shown above.
The output from the generator 'B+' main te rminal passes to the battery via the main terminal on the starter motor and then
the power cable to the high power protection module located in the luggage compartment. From this module, a short main
power cable supplies the ba ttery positive terminal.
The return circuit is through the vehicle body and supplementary ground cables.
The high power protection mo dule comprises four fuses, each rated at 250 Amps.
Battery output uses the same power cable as the charging circ uit, to the high power protection module and to the starter
motor main terminal. Two similar cables, but not such a high rating, supply battery power from the high power protection
module to the fuse box in the luggage compartment an d to the fuse boxes at the front of the vehicle.

CAUTION: The engine must not be running when multiplugs are connected or disconnected.
Check that the main B+ terminal is clean and tight.
Check that the IG terminal is clean and ma king good contact; if this connection is faulty, the generator will never function
correctly.
Disconnect the multi-plug at th e rear of the generator. With the engine not running and with the ignition switched on, use a
DMM to check for battery voltage between the centre pin on the multi-plug connector and a good vehicle ground. If the
measured voltage is correct, switch off the ignition and reconnect the multi-plug.
Multiplug Connector

If no voltage or low voltage is indicated, check for continuity of the harness between the multi-plug and Fuse 5 (10A) in the
Engine Compartment Fusebox - Left Hand Si de. Repair any damage to the harness if necessary. It should be noted that if
Fuse 5 has blown, the starter motor will not operate and the Engine Control Module will not receive an ignition supply.
Consequently, the engine will not st art, even with a slave battery.
Start the engine and test for correct ch arge or voltage level; check as described previously. If not charging and the
generator is being driven ie. no be lt slipping - renew the generator.

Antenna - Antenna
Description and Operation
The electrically operated antenna operates automatically when the Ignition switch is set to position 1 or 2, and the radio
cassette player is switched on , regardless of the status of the tape or CD mode switch.
The antenna motor is protected by a 10A fuse, F9, located in the trunk fuse-box.

License plate lamps
Each license plate bulb is accessible after removing the relevant lens. The license plate lamps can be accessed following
removal of the trunk lid liner and upper trim finisher.
Rear lamp assembly
Each rear lamp assembly incorporates a stop/tail lamp, a fog lamp, a reversing lamp and a direction indicator lamp. Access
for bulb replacement is from the trunk.
Side markers
Each side marker is retained in the bumper cover by a lug on one end of the unit and a spring clip at the other end. The unit is not electrically connected for all markets.
High mounted stop lamp
The high mounted stop lamp (HMSL) is secu red to studs on the center lower edge of the backlight and provides illumination
using five bulbs.
Operation
All lamps are controlled by the BPM which pr ovides an appropriate output in response to an input received when a selected
switch is operated.
The side marker lamps receive an input from the BPM via relay 3 and fuse F21. The license plate lamps receive an input
from the BPM via relay 3 and fuse F19. The rela y and fuses are located in the trunk fuse-box.
The tail lamps receive an input direct from the BPM.
The stop, reversing and rear fog lamps are controlled by the security and locking module (SLM) which receives inputs via
the SCP network from the BPM.
The HMSL is not controlled by the SLM; it receives input from the brake switch via relay 5 and fuse F8 in the trunk fuse-box.

The BPM and SLM monitor the stop lamps (n ot HMSL) and tail lamps for failure.
Fault analysis must be undertaken using the PDU, refer to Diagnosis and Testing.
Consult the relevant Electrical Guid e for details of circuit operation.

Rear courtesy/ reading lamps
Each rear quarter of the passenger compartment is fitted with combined lighting units comprising; a rear courtesy lamp and
reading lamp. The courtesy lamps operate automatically whenever a rear door is opened; the reading lamps function when
the integral switches are operated by occupants of the vehicle.
Trunk lamps
The trunk trim panel is fitted with lamps which operate auto matically whenever the trunk lid is opened; the switch is
incorporated within the latch mechanism.
Vanity mirror lamps
The vanity mirror lamps, two on each sun visor, operate auto matically when the mirror flap is opened, provided the sun
visor spindle is engage d in the stowage clip.
Operation
The BPM provides an enable signal for the glovebox, vanity mirror, trunk lid and map lamps. Actuation of the relevant
switch provides an earth path to the lamp.
The rear passenger reading lamps receive a supply di rect from fuse F10 in the RH heelboard fuse-box.
The front and rear courtesy lamps have separa te fade functions controlled by the BPM.
The door hazard / puddle lamps are controll ed locally by the relevant Door Module.
Fault analysis must be undertaken using the PDU, refer to Diagnosis and Testing.
Refer to the relevant Electrical Guid e for details of circuit operation.
