FUSES AND FUSE BOXES

Do not fit a new fuse if the wiring is
damaged; contact a Jaguar Dealer. After
renewing a fuse have the circuit checked
by a Jaguar Dealer.

Two types of fuses are fitted in the fuse
boxes, ATO-type and Midi type.

Spare fuses and a special tool for
removing and replacing fuses are located
on a removable panel clipped to the rear
of the luggage compartment (A).

RENEWING A BLOWN FUSE

Caution: Always turn off the starter
switch, and the affected electrical
circuit, before replacing a fuse.

Caution: Fit Jaguar approved
replacement fuses of the same rating
and type, or fuses of matching
specification. Using an incorrect fuse
may result in damage to the vehicle's
electrical system, and can result in a
fire.

Caution: If the replacement fuse blows
after installation, the system should be
checked by your Jaguar Dealer.

Caution: No attempt should be made to
repair a fuse that has blown.

Make sure the new fuse is the correct
rating (amperage).

Fuses are colour coded according to the
amperage and the rating is also marked
on each fuse.

Caution: When a fuse box lid is
removed, take care to protect the box
from moisture, and refit the lid at the
earliest opportunity.

ATO-fuse replacement

Push the tool onto the suspect ATO-fuse
and withdraw the fuse. If the wire in the
fuse is broken, the fuse has blown.

Fit a new fuse using the tool.
