WARNING:

To prevent a possible fire, or damage 
to the electrical system, fit Jaguar 
approved replacement fuses of the 
same rating and type, or fuses of 
matching specification. Do not replace 
a blown fuse with a fuse of a higher 
amperage rating. Always rectify the 
cause of the failure before replacing a 
fuse. Seek qualified assistance.

Fuse failure is identified by an inoperative 
circuit.

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; a mini-type (A) and a 
cartridge-type (B).

A special tool for removing and replacing 
mini-fuses is provided in the engine 
compartment fuse box, together with 
spare fuses.

Use only the spare fuses supplied. If a 
spare fuse is used, renew it with a Jaguar 
approved fuse of the same amperage 
rating.

CHECKING AND RENEWING A 
BLOWN FUSE

It is highly recommended that only the 
mini-type fuses are replaced by the 
owner. All other fuses and relays should 
be replaced by a Jaguar Dealer.

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.

The colour code is as follows:

Tan

5 amp

Brown

7.5 amp

Red

10 amp

Blue

15 amp

Mini-fuse replacement

Push the tool on to the suspect mini-fuse 
and withdraw it.

If the wire in the fuse is broken, the fuse 
has blown.

Fit a new fuse using the tool.

Cartridge fuse replacement

It is advisable to have these fuses 
changed by a Jaguar Dealer when blown.

Pull the suspected blown fuse from its 
holder.

If the wire in the fuse is broken, the fuse 
has blown.

Push a new fuse into the holder.

FUSE BOX LOCATIONS

There are three separate fuse boxes fitted 
to the vehicle, each one containing fuses 
protecting a different group of circuits.

They are located in:

1. The engine compartment.

2. The passenger compartment.

3. The luggage compartment.

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