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.

Midi-fuse replacement (not shown)

Unscrew the two nuts and remove the 
fuse. Note that the fuse is supplied 
directly from the battery positive; take 
care not to short a spanner or other metal 
tool to the chassis when removing the 
nuts.

FUSE BOX LOCATIONS

There are three separate fuse boxes fitted 
to the vehicle, each one containing fuses 
protecting a different group of circuits:
• Engine compartment fuse box.
• Cabin fuse box.
• Luggage compartment fuse box.

Engine compartment fuse box

The fuse box is located in the engine 
compartment on the right-hand side, 
adjacent to the windshield wash reservoir.

Remove the fuse box lid by pressing the 
spring catch and lifting.

When refitting, press the fuse box lid in 
the area of the retaining lugs until the lid 
engages.
