Newbie greetings...have lighting problem
#1
![Question](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Hello all. I bought my '96 XJS as a "turning 50" gift to myself. It's been all I hoped for, and none of what I feared. Driving home one night, I found my dash lights were totally out. Then a car at a light rolled down his window to say my tail lights were out, too.
Since I've had no issues until now, I haven't acquainted myself with any maintenance info aside from doing oil/filter changes and fluid checks. Can someone point me to the location of the fuse panel and [likely] offending fuse number, or a relay that could be causing my problem? I'm reasonably handy, but have no idea where they've got stuff tucked away. Thanks in advance.

Found my answer here:

Side light relay (#2) under the hood on the left fenderwell.
Edit 5/29: Yep; pulled the relay, rapped it on the bench a couple times, cleaned the contacts...got lights back!
