Been trying to sort this interior light issue for ages . So followed these simple instructions and within 15 min, I’ve stopped the problem. Thanks for this video, you’ve saved my driving sanity!
what a superb solution for a problem that was getting increasingly worse for my XF. During a 1 hour drive the interior lights turned on en average 15 times at least. Totally nerve wrecking. Thank you for sharing your information and your very clear video! Tim
Great video . I’m having the same problem with the interior light so I’m going to follow your video step by step .. I have the XJ model but I think it’s the same part they look identical… again thanks for the video
You're right. This was one heck of an action-packed episode! I feel like I got the best value meal from my fast food restaurant! Burger = Dome light - Fries = Speaker grill - Drink = Grab handle. All jokes aside, this was invaluable for me and I suspect, others as well. We are all very appreciative of you doing this not only for yourself, but to have the confidence in showing us. I'm also going to use your website as you suggested. Thanks so much, Hilton.
Massive thank you ive just followed your video and just fixed my lights excellent apart from cost £12 for tin of the grease so ive done my battery terminals, and going to change all the other bulbs to blue thanks
I'm glad it helped. I know those intermittent bulb on offs are an issue with XFs in particular so decided to do something about it. It's nice to know the video at least helps other having the same issue.
@@carfanfan yes as a new owner of xf did understand what it was till I seen your video made loads of sense then and thanks to your video though could manage that so yes massive thanks ,and they were annoying
This happens in my 2012 facelift, always the middle light. Extremely annoying! Although one year into ownership and this is the only problem I have encountered I should not really complain....in fact I absolutely love my car. Thanks for your tutorial Hilton.
Great video again Hilton. I've managed to do the LED puddle lights thanks to your help. I have one interior light coming on, on it's own. I did clean the bulb holders before which seemed to work until about a month ago. I will now try your method. Take care, Jeff
Hi Hilton, thanks for the tutoring my good man I’ve bought the grease and the trim tools and my wife has even got me some torx screwdrivers so I’m getting on it this weekend. Had the car up the body shop today as I have a few spots on the body where the lacquer has flaked so having a few paint touch ups to make her perfect again also having the wheels repainted so they look fresh 🤞 thanks again , really enjoying your vid Jerry 👍
Thanks. I see so many guys in the forums struggling to figure these basic things out and if one can see how to do it, it makes it easier to do it one's self 😉
Hey Hilton) 👋 I must say man you are amazing✨🌟 have you ever considered just working for Jaguar ... I know if people have you as their specialist I know you would guarantee that it would be done right tha first time ... 5🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 guarantee
This is the flickering light fix for sure. Mine no longer flickering but the DSC warning suddenly came up a day later and the car went into limp mode. Next day no problems. Next drive ok but on return journey the engine warning light came on! It is now on permanently. Can't be a coincidence ... More fun to be had!
It's not a coincidence. Sounds to me like you have a battery that's on its way out. They have a life span of 4 years and if it's older than that then replace it. All your faults will disappear.
@@carfanfan battery was replaced in June during a service. I think I had a loose connection in the light box thing in the roof. I'm gonna clean them with some alcohol and see what happens.
Great video. Mine is tan and driver's side comes on at random so next job. Great demonstration. God they are real fisher price plastic toy quality. I'm disappointed by the car's quality but love the drive. I fear I'll go back to bland and dull but great quality Lexus LS460. Thanks again. I dread what will happen next though.
Hey Hilton, jeg har en tilsvarene bil og har stor glede av å se dine filmer. Skal bytte til led innvendig og har lært mye av dine ting. Takk skal du ha som deler erfaringer her på RUclips. Hilsen fra Norge
Great video very helpful, any ideas on radio/sat nav /parking sensors all lose sound then switch off leave 20 mins and everything is back to normal. Get this quite regularly 🤔
I wonder how many viewers went out to check their grab handles after watching this video - I know I did. Does your VIN come within the range of that TSB, I'd have thought yours would be a Sxxxxx and already had the dielectric grease applied. If it recurrs see if there's a build up of film inside the lenses, cleaning inside with a rag wrapped around a pencil or screwdriver worked for me. No more problems 3 years later. Do you have any advice for autolights that seem to stay on sometimes even in bright sunshine ? I've tried a new rain sensor, new light sensor in the dash grille, no difference. I'm thinking the wiper position when parked might be a problem.
Mine didn't fall within their range but that was issued around that time. I think it's an affliction that affects just about every X250 by now. I haven't had any issues with my auto lights. It could be some dirt I side the little lens which sits in the molding that covers the rear view mirror.
@@pauljohnston712 No they also failed on my old 2009 model shortly after buying the car. The dealer repaired it using the repair kit from the bulletin and they never acted up in the 5 years I had the car thereafter. So it does seem to work.
Thank you so much for uploading this, it is very useful. Got a bit of a shock looking at my Jaguar XFR dashboard bubbling up in places, what do you think i should do 🤥.
Oh dear. I know Jaguar put extra staples in the front to keep the dash from bubbling but it's a dash out repair. I recall there is a video showing how to remove it on RUclips from a few years back. If you can get a good one from a salvage yard you could swap it out yourself with a buddy helping you. Just label all the wires and plugs so you know where to plug them in again and take your time. It's about a 4-6 hour job so weekend would probably be a good time to tackle it.
When I heard about this problem I immediately sourced a sunshade which I now use religiously. I've had the issue on top of the door cards which I managed to glue back down. If it's not too big a patch you could try injecting some glue using a syringe.
@@pauljohnston712 Yeah, I agree. I first try and get a syringe with a needle and squirt the glue in under the lifted area and then smooth it down with credit card. But use a good trimmer's glue that won't dry out any time soon and will keep the bond for a long time. Trimmers use a special glue which is heated slightly to ensure it's nice and liquid, but when it dries it turns to a think bond between the two surfaces.
@@carfanfan I will definitely see if i can stick this back down with some glue. I did search up trimmer's glue, but can't seem to find it available in the UK. Is there anything else you can recommend? Thanks
@@ib9230 You could give this one a try www.amazon.com/HH-66-PVC-Vinyl-Cement-Brush/dp/B005LL3ZXW/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=automotive+upholstery+glue&qid=1601035503&sr=8-3
My dome light used to come on in really wet weather.. turned out there was a tiny dead spider in there when I took it all apart. How it ever got in there is a mystery to me. 😎
Does it have to be a copper grease or will any paste do? Does it have to be conductive? I have some spare amount of good CPU thermal paste around. That is awesome. I was planning to go and get my garage here to replace the whole dome light unit which is like $500 - for the third time! I'm going to try this over the weekend. You're the King Hilton.
Hey Jiri, I'd suggest using copper grease as this is what Jaguar supply in their little repair kit. You should be able to get it at any automotive parts store. I got mine from Autozone.
@@carfanfan I think that is sensible advice. However, I did this repair on my XF a couple of years ago and actually used some CPU thermal paste that I had on hand, I could not find any copper grease locally so just winged it. It has worked for me perfectly ( so far !??). It was probably gold grease but possibly silver, I can't recall as I have both on hand
@@carfanfan I have to admit this has been a priceless advice. I have treated the contacts with a copper grease in the end... and 3 weeks in and no misbehavior from the dome lights a single time. Thanks a million!!
Take the car over 40kph and then stop. This allows the abs to set itself. Stop the car, apply full pressure to the foot brake and then with your foot brake still depressed, set the parking brake. This will reset it.
Hi Hilton. I just bought a 2015 XF (X250) indicating a faulty SD Card on the navigator screen. The nearby Jaguar dealership could not find the SD Card slot. Can you please tell me where is the navigator SD Card situated in this model? Thanks.
Hey Nkosinathi, it's in the center armrest where the iPod connection is. If the SD card is missing there, that's why you have an error. You can actually download the maps from Jaguar's website and install them on another SD card - not sure what size, but the dealer should know.
I've seen two types of bulbs in the steering wheel to light up the controls for air conditioning radio excetera is there a certain model that they don't put them in or a certain model that they do put them in helping thinks it's a 98 XJR
Hi super thank you for the video how to fix it. i will give it a try on mine xf today. but do you have the InControll remote program for your Jaguar ? so you can start it with your phone and lock/unlock and much more true your phone ?
@@carfanfan okay 😁👍 same here i have the old model of the xf. but i didn`t know it must be the newer models for that InControll. but now i know, thank you again 👍
My XF interior light closest to drivers side just started having this random issue. Do tou think Dielectric grease will work the same as the Copper grease?
I've never heard of dielectric grease before, but if it's conductive, then yes, it will work, but I don't know how long it will last. Copper is the best conductor of electricity, which is why it's used in electric wires and cables, so i would recommend copper grease if you can get some.
I was looking a SERVISE manual- U mantioned about it...i can not find any link on your comments. Pleas help me with this document, i will be thankfull..
Hi, Just completed your roof light fix, just to confirm my car has black interior and had the same issue. Could you also confirm the LED bulbs you used as I purchased several that were listed for the XF and they are not functioning. Disappointed you sold the XFR . Thanks for all your help...
Graham some led bulbs only have one way polarity. If you look at the base of the T10 bulb, if there are two wires curled over each side, break the opposite ends off each of the wires so on one side you have one wire and the other side you have one wire. That usually fixes the problem
@@carfanfan To update. 1 holder now working, other holder, had to put the old bulb back to make work. Are there any particular bulb make you recommend. Purchased mine from e-bay?
@@grahambright7424 I used high quality bulbs for mine. Sometimes you get cheap bulbs that cost a small fortune. It's the luck of the draw really. If I were you I'd go tk my local light shop and buy several brands there. You will find some work and some don't. Make sure the contacts don't go over both sides. Ie. They must have a + side and a - side. If the little wires go over both sides, chances are they're rubbish. 😉
@@carfanfan Thank you for taking the time to answer, it is really appreciated. I have a Halfords car centre close to me. I will buy the best they stock and try again. Could I contact you on your site to discuss another XF issue I have with the 6 disc changer. If OK, when is a good day? thanks again, Graham
i noticed my car does this but only on bumpy roads or sharp turns. do you think i’m having this problem or possibly a door problem slightly opening during those sharp turns thus causing the lights to turn on and off.
@@carfanfan yeah took it to JLR it was some sponge type material that had corroded from wear and tear. Nice and fixed up now so lights on all the time when doors are open :D happy car happy life.
Hey man i have a question for you don’t know you see my comment or not but i have 2016 xf 3.0 my car shows up code P0128 says ( coolant thermostat below coolant thermostat regulating temperature ) in this case what i have to change the thermostat? Or the temperature sensor only
Hey Simar. It's the thermostat that's faulty. When the engine is cold, the thermostat should be closed to let it warm up quicker. This gets the oil to operating viscosity. If the thermostat stays open, the engine doesn't warm up quick enough and the oil stays cooler. This can cause long term damage to the engine. Get a new thermostat my friend 😉
JagFan Hilton appreciate man just one thing adding to it if i put new thermostat new temperature sensor inbuilt the car’s system will pick the sensor or i have to set it with OBDII or something else ?
@@simar98 Hey Simar. There shouldn't be a need to reset anything once you replace it. If the new thermostat is operating properly, the engine will warm up quicker and the sensors will pick it up and you should have no lights. It's a good idea to replace the temp sensor as well. The coolant reservoir also has a level sensor and this can also cause the code. However, if the coolant tank is between the full and low marks then there should be no issue there. I found this site this morning - you might want to take a look at it www.engine-codes.com/p0128_jaguar.html
Hi Jose'. I don't personally have a manual for an XE since I've never owned one. But you can try this website to download one cardiagn.com/2016-2018-jaguar-xe-x760-offline-workshop-manual-wiring-diagrams/
@@carfanfan I’ve found some of that but it says “helps prevent disc brake squeal”. Are they the same ? Thanks anyway, amazing video.. I’ve been struggling with these lights 😂
I use a car shampoo by shield but really, any car shampoo with a built-in wax is good enough. For the wheels, I use a mag wheel spray that you spray on and it removes all the dust particles from the calipers and wheels and then just spray them down. I rarely clean wheels as that method does the trick. As for the interior, never use harsh chemicals on the leather, it makes the paint crusty and then the leather starts to crack. Use a water damp cloth to clean it and then use a leather feed - something similar to what they use on horse saddles ;)
@@carfanfan It was a trick question. dielectric grease is nonconductive. I used lithium grease and the problem was resolved. Your video was well done. Great job

If the thermostat stays open, the engine doesn't warm up quick enough and the oil stays cooler. This can cause long term damage to the engine. Get a new thermostat my friend 😉
JagFan Hilton appreciate man just one thing adding to it if i put new thermostat new temperature sensor inbuilt the car’s system will pick the sensor or i have to set it with OBDII or something else ?
@@simar98 Hey Simar. There shouldn't be a need to reset anything once you replace it. If the new thermostat is operating properly, the engine will warm up quicker and the sensors will pick it up and you should have no lights. It's a good idea to replace the temp sensor as well. The coolant reservoir also has a level sensor and this can also cause the code. However, if the coolant tank is between the full and low marks then there should be no issue there. I found this site this morning - you might want to take a look at it www.engine-codes.com/p0128_jaguar.html
Hello sir jaguar xf ont working interior light
Can you please let me know where can I find those manuals for Jaguar XE?
Hi Jose'. I don't personally have a manual for an XE since I've never owned one. But you can try this website to download one cardiagn.com/2016-2018-jaguar-xe-x760-offline-workshop-manual-wiring-diagrams/
@@carfanfan thank you
So why didn't you keep the sunglasses holder from the old XF and put that in this one?
I didn't think I'd be buying another X250 again. Funny how life turns out isn't it?
where can i find the copper compound to buy? i've been looking but couldn't found it
You should be able to find copper grease at any local car parts store such as Autozone
@@carfanfan I’ve found some of that but it says “helps prevent disc brake squeal”. Are they the same ? Thanks anyway, amazing video.. I’ve been struggling with these lights 😂
@@victorlima1296 yup, it's the same. It will fix your issue for years to come.
@@carfanfan amazing, thank you so much 👍🏼
👍👍👍
what do you recommend to clean the car, the rims and the leather interior?
I use a car shampoo by shield but really, any car shampoo with a built-in wax is good enough. For the wheels, I use a mag wheel spray that you spray on and it removes all the dust particles from the calipers and wheels and then just spray them down. I rarely clean wheels as that method does the trick. As for the interior, never use harsh chemicals on the leather, it makes the paint crusty and then the leather starts to crack. Use a water damp cloth to clean it and then use a leather feed - something similar to what they use on horse saddles ;)

Does anyone know if dielectric grease will work instead of copper grease?
Copper grease is what's recommended by Jaguar. Just use what they recommend. It works.
@@carfanfan It was a trick question. dielectric grease is nonconductive. I used lithium grease and the problem was resolved. Your video was well done. Great job
