I had a similar issue with my cruise control, it's the switch. These guys were the cheapest (on line) at about $50.

There are great instructions here on the forum - I installed mine in about 1/2 hour. You'll need a helper for about 10 minutes.

Ok I'm a little confused after reading the posts again. Do I have a brake switch or cruise control switch defective, or are we talking about the same thing. I searched JaguarParts.com :: Original parts for your Jaguar and found a park brake switch. Is this what I need or do you have a part number? Thanks

have my old one that you can have. There's practically nothing to them, just two $2 microswitches in a housing. No need to spend much money on a new one if you can solder. Send me a PM and I'll put it in the mail

For my 2000 XK8 the part number is LJB6420BB.
"Switch.brake Ped" $59.50
Double check with a phone call to make sure of your particular application 800-783-5247x231
The switch is unsealed and comes apart with 2 screws and the relevant parts consist of a small circuit board and 2 micro switches. I'm sure you could just replace those and be done with it.
Good luck

I received the brake switch today and my plan was to wait until this weekend when I'd have a helper but as usual the more I sat on the sofa the more I couldn't resist so I headed to the garage and in less than 30 min I was done. I used my finger to feel the hole near the engine and after getting the stud started into this hole it was a piece of cake. I used some crumpled newspaper to hold the switch in place. From the engine bay I used my finger nail to press against the lower stud and gently started the nut on the upper stud. The brake lights work fine so the only thing left is a test drive this weekend. Thanks for everyone's help and if anyone wants the old switch just ask.
