no low beam headlights
my low beam headlights just went out tonight. but when i turn the left turn signal, the low beam headlights turn on but when the stalk comes back, the lights are out again. i tried to jiggle the switch stalk while it's on a left turn signal and the headlights flickers but out again if i return the stalk. i searched and it seems the switch stalk is the problem. i tried to search for a stalk removal instructions but none. does anyone here knows how to get to the signal switch stalk? thanks.

http://www.jagrepair.com/images/Auto.../jagxj1998.pdf 9.1-9.4 is the wiring diagram.
This was what I could find from a Tech Bulletin regarding steering wheel removal, hope this at least gives some guidance....

I think if you google removing steering wheel, removing air bag, multifunction switch, for Jaguar XJ8L you will find lots of threads on this forum plus some Youtube. A careful read will give you insight on what to do to resolve your problem.
Can't imagine trying to remove that switch (or finding the broken solder joint and/or wire) without removing the airbag and steering wheel, each a very simple task (carefully note the steering wheel alignment marks).
I would guess you have a bad solder joint.

I don't recall if that attachment is under the instruments or behind the wheel? I was going to pull mine apart after I get back from vacation (Fri), when I do my vents, chase that volume wire and the squeek from the steering. If I get to mine before you do yours, I'll let you know.
Do a site search like Jhartz said, I know I've seen a few dismantled columns doing searches for things like squeaks turning the steering wheel (like mine) and such. Also, check the link I gave you for Jag Repair and search there.
And before someone replies to that, yes I saw tech bulletin on the squeak fix using the tape.
