1994 Jaguar XJ6 or XJ12 - Discharged Battery

Owners of 1994 XJ6s and XJ12s may get tired of taking their cars back to the garage for repeated cases of discharged batteries. In many cases this condition is caused by "cooling fan run on." This condition is brought on by corrosion in the cooling fan wiring harness connector. To cure this condition, the existing harness connection has to be located behind the front left side fog lamp. If an inspection of the harness connector shows it to be corroded, Jaguar suggests that it be replaced with a new radiator fan switch kit part numbers: JLM 12040 (XJ6) JLM 12041 (XJ12) Upon installation of the replacement connectors, all wiring connections should be done with the use of a "Duraseal" connector to prevent corrosion in the future.
