Problem- Brake lights and signal lights do not work
I checked the fuse box and the fuse that goes to the stop lights was blown. I replaced it and tried the turn signals(they worked! but only in the front) then I pressed on the brake and nothing happened. I tried the turn signals again and they were not working.
Then I checked the fuse and it was blown.
Help Please!!!!!!

How did you fix it? My uncle is a master mechanic and he think its something called the "stoplight sensor module" i think i found it, its a small metal box(roughly the size of a cigar box)

I'm away from my books at the moment but I recall a stop lamp failure module located aft of the shift assembly in the center console. This is what controls the dashboard bulb failure lamp if a brake lamp fails. It's nowhere near the size of a cigar box. More like the size of a typical accessory relay
The brake lamp in the rear window bypasses this module. SO....disconnect the module and step on the brake. If the third brake light operates and the fuse doesn't blow then it's a fair bet that the problem is the module or a problem down stream of the module. If the brakes lights still don't work then you have a problem upstream of the module

Google C42291 Module Jaguar or click here:

It's in the console. If you remove the cubby box I think you'll see it right about below where the window switches are. In that neck o' the woods.

Haha all you guys are going to make fun of me but I figured out what the problem was -__- My bulbs were burnt out so I just replaced them, however my back right socket wasn't working so I fiddled around with a knife and it worked. I learned a valuable lesson yesterday... START WITH THE EASY THINGS FIRST...Greg Edge I should have taken your advice lol

It turned out to be a dead relay (blue type) located in the left rear area (had to squeeze my hand in the space left of the gas tank to find it). Replaced the relay and all worked well after that.

How can i tell if the relay is dead by looking at it?
