In the end I "fixed" the flashing transmission warning light by removing the bulb. Needed to for government roadworthiness test. Flashing warning lights not allowed.

The car is still going strong after its ECU/coil issues:-) Those non-original Lucas coils must be OK.

Hi JeffinSwitz,

The best reference for locating relays is the Electrical Guide. I can't find anywhere in your thread where you mention the actual model year of your X300 or I would link you directly to the correct manual, but you can download the guide for your MY here:

JagRepair.com - Jaguar Repair Information Resource

As an example, in the 1995 Electrical Guide the relay locations are shown in illustrations on page 26 of the pdf file.

P.S. It's helpful to add your car year, model and engine information to your signature line so other members don't have to ask in order to offer accurate replies.

Cheers,

Don

Hi cool,

Did you post this in the right thread? Not sure what it has to do with JeffinSwitz' flashing transmission warning lamp...?

Cheers,

Don

Hi You might want to take a quick look at this page from Jim Butterworth, an XJ300 sage.... It may give you more insight to the cause of the problem.
Here is the link

Jaguar XJ6; Jaguar X300; AJ16 engine

I hope this helps you out
