What PDF are you looking for? First check the fluid level to the top embossed line on the tank and check the petcock closed.

What is this switch part number and repair pdf ?
Thank you

I know that this is for X-150 but it might help to know what was the problem on my XK8. Not the top latch, neither the microswitch on the right Ram, only 2 LED Rear turning light Bulbs that were replaced when the previous one burned. Those « canbus LED best quality » bought in a specialized auto parts were responsible for the latch disfonction and the warning signal. So before taking the car aparts like we did and test everything, remember that Jaguar is a very sensitive cat.

This is the faulty LED bulb responsable for the disfonctionned Top Latch closure
