Hello folks, I'mrecently aquired very mint 98 XJ8L. as clean as it maybe, it has few gremlins that I'm trying to figure out.
here goes.. any help would be appreciate it.
1) both of the front power seats front tilt function does not work, when you depress the seat switch you can hear the motor turn but no motion and they're both stuck in up position (front tilt)
2) rear trunk release (growling head button) works when it wants to. also cannot get trunk lid interior light to work.
3) the big one. when car is travleing at highway speeds all of sudden motor stalls. have to put in netural and restart. usually takes 2 restarts.. I've noticed that it happens more so when I WOT(wide open throttle) to pass or whatnot then let off the gas pedal then let the engine rev down, but instead it dies. I was thining maybe fuel delivery problem?
4) some of the dash lights do not illuminate and don't know if it's even suppose to be? front/rear foglight does not illuminate("on" indicator works however), transmission selector does not illuminate, window switches other then driver does not illuminate.
I'm sure some of you guys that's been around has seen and heard lol of these problems... any help would be greatly appreciate it. thanks in advance
