Default Just bought an 03 XJ8

I am very happy to say yesterday was a very long day. I flew from Dayton to Atlanta to Philadelphia then got picked up by the dealer to drive another 30 minutes to go see/purchase my 03 Jaguar xj8.

The only issue I can find after my 9 hour drive home was the driver seat heater does not work (all passengers work fine per family test after getting home). And the head liner is coming down in the rear (they discounted the car for this). Hope I can fix it.

Welcome! Headliner is no big deal. You could have a local headliner pro do it for around $200-$300. Usually, they come to you and do it in the work parking lot or your driveway. The seat maybe a little more work. Does it work in any direction? See if the motors are getting power.

Ken, it is the seat heater, not just the seat... I will check the relay on the drivers side.
