Roadside Emergency 6 - 21
Fuses and Fuse Boxes
Do not fit a new fuse if the wiring is
damaged; contact a Jaguar Retailer.
After renewing a fuse have the circuit
checked by a Jaguar Retailer.
Two types of fuses are fitted in the fuse
boxes, ATO type and Midi type.
Spare fuses and a special tool for
removing and replacing fuses are located
on a removable panel clipped to the rear
of the trunk ( A).
Use only the spare fuses supplied. If a
spare fuse is used, renew it with a Jaguar
approved fuse of the same amperage
rating.
Checking and Renewing a
Blown Fuse
Make sure the new fuse is the correct
rating (amperage).
Fuses are colour coded according to the
amperage and the rating is also marked
on each fuse.
Caution: When a fuse box lid is
removed, take care to protect the box
from moisture, and refit the lid at the
earliest opportunity. ATO-fuse replacement
Push the tool on to the suspect ATO fuse
and withdraw the fuse. If the wire in the
fuse is broken, the fuse has blown.
Fit a new fuse using the tool.
Midi fuse replacement
(not shown)
Unscrew the two nuts and remove the
fuse. Note that the fuse is supplied
directly from the battery +ve; take care
not to short a spanner or other metal tool
to the chassis when removing the nuts.!WARNING:
1. Do not fit a fuse of a different amperage from that removed.
The electrical circuits may
become overloaded with the
subsequent possibility of a fire.
2. No attempt should be made to repair a fuse that has blown as this
may cause a fire hazard or serious
damage elsewhere in the
electrical circuit.
