1994 Jaguar XJS Ignition Issue?
Hi I'm new to this forum but I have been looking for help with an issue. Not too long ago I was driving along when all of a sudden all my dash lights went out and the car died. Then the lights came back on and I started the car again and managed to get it home. I pulled up to my home turned off the car and went inside. Later I came out and it started up fine but as soon as I began to pull her in the garage again the car stalled and the ignition seemed to have no power. While in neutral I managed to push it in the garage wheres its been sitting for a few weeks now. I have power to everything you would have power to while the car is off but when I put the key to the on position nothing happens? Also my son mistakenly put it in Park and without power to the ignition I can't even put the car in neutral to have it towed. Any ideas would be helpful...ANY! I also have dealers maintenance cd in my possession to look at.

I had a problem similar to that in my 95 xj6. I kept finding my trunk was unlocked or left ajar. Make sure everything is closed and use the key to lock the doors from the drivers side. Do you get a chirp from the security system?
My little one liked to hit the jag on the back and open the trunk. When I unlocked the doors it activated the kill system.

The BLUE relays in that vintage Jaguar were Not very reliable. I replaced alot of relays for dead XJ6 and XJ-S. There are several that are critical like the ECM and fuel pump etc. There are some that are LOAD relays that power major circuits. You might also have a faulty ignition switch so pull the column cowl and back probe the switch IN/OUT circuits. Get an electrical guide so you know what is power and what is earth!!!
