RE: luggage light

What your missing is that Jaguar switches the ground!!

In other words 12v is supplied to the bulb(s), the other
side of the bulb(s) goes to ground through the switch.
On my 04 there is a diode just before the switch.

RE: luggage light

ah right, so could the switch be at fault, where is the switch located, i am a ford person and never worked on a jag before so dont know much about them at all.
i did find something near the battery like some sort of plug, is that the diode you are talking about?
