1996 Jaguar XJ6 Interior Lights

Hello According to the information it is on the door casing on the body. Look all around where the door closes and make contact with the body. There should be some type of plunger that is depressed when the door hits it, or, extends (turns on the lights) when it is opened. It may even be in the hinge area. If you can not find it after a good look, I will send you some picks of other vehicles and what they look like.

Would that it were so easy. I'm familiar with the old plunger type switches. This doesn't have that. I'm guessing it's in the latching mechanism. May be unique to Jags.

Lights don't come on when passenger door is open. Works for all others. Where do I find switch?[/quote:89641092a6]

The interior light switch is inside the door attached to the door latch. The interior panel has to come off the door to access it. Before you do this, try spraying the latch from the outside with a silicon or spray lube of some kind and opening and closing the door a few times. I don't recomend using WD-40 or any kind of rust breaker because of the acidity.

Thanks James. I thought this might be the case, and have tried the spray lube, but I sinned and used WD. Anything scary about pulling the door panel?

Hello Thanks for the assistance James..... I have attached the only info I can locate on the panel removal and though the information said front door the figures state rear doors. Hope this helps.
