On the fusebox diagram for my 1999 323i convertible it says there is a fuse for the electric roof in the ''luggage compartment'' but for the life of me I can't find it...HEEEELP!!!!!!!

Luggage Compartment Lid
The luggage compartment lid module receives a voltage signal from the driver door module (DDM) when either the button on the driver door trim panel, the keyless entry keypad, or the transmitter is pressed (twice on the transmitter). Voltage is then supplied to the luggage compartment lid latch, opening it. Using the luggage compartment lid key operates the latch mechanically, resulting in manual-only operation of the lid. There are two switches in the latch. One is monitored by the luggage compartment lid module to sense if the latch is closed. The other switch in the latch is monitored by both modules (LCM and luggage compartment lid module) and is used for disabling the anti-theft system, which is contained within the LCM. The luggage compartment lid module powers the lid motor to move the lid to the full-open position when it senses the latch has been opened. Optical sensors within the lid motor are monitored by the module to determine when to turn off power and which circuits should be powered or grounded to the lid motor. When one of the buttons is depressed with the lid open, the DDM sends a signal to the luggage compartment lid module which powers and grounds the correct circuits to the lid motor and lowers the lid until the latch closes. The module senses the latch closing through the lid latch switch that is monitored. At this time, the module powers the closing motor, slowly pulling the lid to a fully closed position. Two switches within the closing motor are monitored by the module to determine when the closing motor is fully down or up. The module has a vehicle speed output (VSO) (circuit 679) signal that is used to shut down the system if there is a VSO of approximately 5 kph (3 mph) or more. For diagnostics, the module uses the ISO-9141 circuit 70 that is included in the DLC (data link connector). Whenever battery power is lost to the luggage compartment lid module, luggage compartment lid motor or the luggage compartment lid closing motor; the system must be initialized.

NOTE: The luggage compartment lid motor is equipped with an optical sensor that the module uses to determine if the lid is closing on foreign materials based on lid speed. If the module detects this occurring, power and ground will be reversed to the lid motor and the lid will open.

1. Verify the customer concern by operating the luggage compartment lid using the four different methods (driver door trim panel button, transmitter button, keyless entry keypad and key) to duplicate the concern.

1. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical or electrical damage.

Visual Inspection Chart Mechanical Electrical

• Luggage compartment lid motor
• Luggage compartment lid closing motor
• Luggage compartment lid latch
• Luggage compartment lid and hinges

• Battery junction box (BJB) fuse(s):

  • 1 (30A)
• Central junction box (CJB) fuse(s):
  • 30 (7.5A)
  • 14 (7.5A)
• Circuitry

1. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before proceeding to the next step. Verify the two grounds (G204, G401) are clean, tight and free from corrosion. Remove and clean to make sure.

1. Monitoring the PIDS in the luggage compartment lid module can verify the DDM is sending the lid-open signal to the lid module. They can also be used to determine if the latch switches, the lid switches and the lid motor sensors are all providing the luggage compartment lid module with the correct and necessary information to operate the system. The VSO input can shut the system down if there is a signal indicating 5 kph (3 mph) or more.

1. If the electrical lid operation is ok, but the key is ineffective, refer to Section 501-14 .

1. If the cause is not visually evident, connect the diagnostic tool to the data link connector (DLC) located under the instrument panel and select the vehicle to be tested from the diagnostic tool menu. If the diagnostic tool does not communicate with the vehicle:
   • check that the program card is correctly installed.
   • check the connections to the vehicle.
   • check the ignition switch position.
   • If the diagnostic tool still does not communicate with the vehicle, refer to the diagnostic tool operating manual.

1. Carry out the DATA LINK DIAGNOSTIC TEST. If the diagnostic tool responds with:
   • CKT 914, CKT 915 or CKT 70 = ALL ECUs NO RESP/NOT EQUIP, refer to Section 418-00 .
   • NO RESP/NOT EQUIP for luggage compartment lid module, Go To Pinpoint Test A .
   • SYSTEM PASSED, retrieve and record the continuous diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), erase the continuous DTCs, and carry out the self-test diagnostics for the luggage compartment lid module.

1. If the DTCs retrieved are related to the concern, go to the luggage compartment lid module Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Index to continue diagnostics. For lighting control module (LCM) concerns, refer to Section 419-10 for a complete DTC index.

Jaguar Type Fuse Box Diagram Fuse Diagram
It looks like the "luggage compartment lid release" fuse (15A) is in the number 1 position within the luggage fuse box which is located forward of the battery
Helpful?
Good luck on your troubleshooting!

Depends on which fusebox you are referring to ....

1) Located in the rear electrical centre in the luggage compartment
F17 and F18 are associated with sunroof (with or without pinch protection), the Rain Sensor, Rear View Mirror and the Control Module for All-Wheel Drive

2) Located in Engine Bay fuse box, F17 and F18 serve windscreen wiper motor

Info extracted from Saab WIS

In the trunk (aka Luggage Compartment in England) life the panel to expose the spare tire. Fuse box should be on right side, near bumper. Take off top. Should be fuse 11. 10AMP accessory fuse. Check to confirm with diagram on lid. https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/attachments/xj-xj8-xjr-x308-27/339d1239001496-cigarette-lighter-fuse-1999-xj8-l-fuse-locations.jpg

2001 jaguar xj fuse box

The luggage compartment light is often forgotten and causes this problem.

If that proves ok you have to discover which circuit is drawing the current by initially removing each fuse in turn and connecting an ammeter across the fusebox terminals. The task of locating and rectifying a current drain is typically either ridiculously simple or complex and time consuming and require lots of dismantling and a good wiring diagram.

BEHIND THE INNER COVER AT THE RIGHT OF THE TRUNK.U MUST TAKE OUT THE COVER..

No handbook??? The most important thing is that in the luggage compartment/boot/trunk there is a lever on each side. These operate a storage area for the roof to go into and when you want a larger boot space then these levers raise this area. Try operating the levers first.

Am I correct in assuming that you have an electric roof? I recently saw in my manual that there is a hydraulic lift that you can access from the trunk of the car. It looks like it is on the left side wall close to the opening. The following is taken directly from the manual:
"If the power system is not operating properly you can still close the roof by hand. 1. Remove protective cover and open luggage compartment lid. 2. Turn screw on hydraulic pump counterclockwise until it stops. 3. Close the luggage compartment lid. 4. Swing the top forward by grabbing it with both hands, lift and push it forward. 5. Lock roof in place. 6. Turn the screw on hydraulic pump clockwise until it stops. Use the same procedure in reverse order to open the power roof manually."

On my 1990-XJS, one of the quarter windows did not come up: with the help of the "Electrical Guide", Fig. 29-1/-2 I was able to fix it. In your case, if only one of the 2 windows does not go down, then it can't be the fuse but most likely the culprit is the "down" relay for each of the 2 quarter windows, located under the luggage compartment floor at the driver's side (there are six "Change-over relays" all together). It is unlikely that the ECM is involved because again, it would affect both windows.Yes, like anything else on a Jaguar, it involves some WORK. To help you further, I'd need more details.
I have been able to maintain two similar Jaguars for 12 years with good results, and might be able to help you further.,
