Dude you need to do a circuit test to check for power at the bulb socket with someone pressing on the brake pedal, or use a short stick wedged against the drivers seat.
Have you had a towbar fitted recently, these are a constant source of faulty connections !
The Jaguar doesn't have a towbar connector as such, there is a dedicated towbar wiring kit available, this plugs into the lamp connectors and has a towing module incorporated into the kit.It also has a small connector that plugs in to a spare connector in the loom for cutting off the parking sensors when you plug in your trailer. If you are in the UK then check on the NTTA website for a towvbar supplier that can either send one out or is local to you.
You will have to get a factory approved kit . Any modification to the lighting system will interfere with the Bulb faifure warning as the wattages and resistances will be altered outside the normal Jaguar settings. There is designated kits for these types of electrical systems from quality tow bar makers .......
Firstly you need to know the make of the towbar, then you can download the fitting instructions from the towbar manufacturers website. As far as electrics are concerned, I would recommend NOT using the secondhand electrics that you have unless you have a dedicated plug-in wiring kit as the wires were probably cut and may now be too short to use and the sockets may not be in tiptop condition, It's well worth the small expense af replacing them. The actual wiring will depend on what year and model the car is.
