I have a 1986 XJ-S, and since I got it the electric aerial was not connected, and there was a box of aftermarket electric aerials in peices and a static mast was installed that you had to manually pull up and down. A couple of years ago I spent a few days trying to get one that worked. I got to the point where the mast would go up when I turned the radio on, and down when I turned it off, however I ended up with a horrible static noise which made it useless, and then during my bumbling around I managed to blow a fuse in the radio itself. That led to me pulling the radio, and replacing the fuse inside it. I was not a ahppy camper. I bought a quality manual mast and have been using that since. Now that I have nothing else to work on, I would like to take another crack at getting an elecrtic aerial in AND get it working properly. The original was gone before I got the car, so I have no idea what I should be looking to buy. I also took a picture to show the wiring I have at that location in the boot. I have the bracket to mount the aerial, the relay and the 3 wires that match up to the 3 wires in the car, and a white plug/connector that has 3 connections to it. My guess is the white plug would go to the aerial.?


1. Does anyone have a wiring diagram that would be helpful?
2. What would be the best place to source an aerial that would be closest for a direct replacement?

This forum has proved to be a great help to me sorting out my car. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

30 seconds on Jaguars Parts website and you'll see that the part number is DAC 6767, which then superseded to LHB 4120AA.

Throw those numbers in eBay and you'll have loads of options.

Thanks Paul, one came up on ebay that looks good. I did a search for Jaguar parts online, and loads of sites came up. Could you share the link to the site you use?

 

Chap1958,

If you want part numbers, you should always just use Jaguar's own Parts Website.

Thanks Paul, that will be helpful! I did find a couple rather quickly on eBay.

 

Have you ordered your antennae yet?
I have a complete antennae assembly from a 1985 XJS Coupe.
My guess is that it should be the same as the 86.
You can have it for the cost of postage plus a few bucks.
Thanks,
