For the XJR, I’d start by getting a 2 foot long blow gun to hook up to your air compressor. Open the sunroof and blow out the 2 front drains. The back ones will be trickier but, you need to find out if all 4 drains are clear and draining properly. Getting a small flexible plastic cup of hot water should be sufficient to pour into the front drains as a start of diagnosing what’s going on.

The other one you need to get a scanner to communicate with the airbag system.

I am thinking xjr is parts?lot of other problems..,,,.,,.,the red one I re set codes p0171 P0174 and added new fuel runs well only light is airbAg in dash. Fuse blown because deployed?so windows seat movement and other elect don’t work .. I have extra parts cars as they were 11 of them here now. So I thought I would start with installing a used front seat if the airbag deploys again I’ve got a different problem if not then I’ll put my closest best looking one in its place

Does the XJR run? I know someone who’s needing a 98’ XJR ECM.
