Hi,

I've bought a 2013 Jag XF Sportbrake, but it needs a few repairs to make it perfect.

I need to replace the rear wiper motor, and I need to figure out why the rear parking sensors refuse to work.

Any advice, or part numbers for the motor?

I was hoping, given the provenance of the car, that a more common estate car rear wiper motor might do the trick.

 

Hi Peter, for the rear wiper motor, you can try the Jaguar Classic Parts site to look up part numbers and availability as an original part, or you could contact any of the specialist Jaguar Breakers such as Auto Reserve. I am assuming that you have already checked the fuses for the rear wiper motor - it may be on the same circuit as the rear parking sensors and therefore explain why both are inoperable.

If you have the wiper motor out of the car, you could test it on the bench with a 12V  power supply or battery, and you could also get along to your local Breakers yard to show them what you are looking for. Chances are it will be common to other vehicles, particularly Land Rover or Ford.

Parking sensors will click when operational - put the car in reverse with the ignition on, but obviously don't start the engine, or use an assistant. By listening with the screwdriver / stethoscope method, you should be able to hear the individual sensors clicking away. No click equals not working. If the whole array is silent, check that the sensor is switched on - it can be switched off at the console and of course that the fuse is good.

Hi,
Thank you for the reply.
I trawled through the fusebox documents, for all of them, and really couldn't find a specific fuse for either the rear window wiper or the parking sensors.
I was thinking the loom could have a crack or something, but other features, such as the button press open and close function are working fine.

If anyone can direct me to the correct location for the relevant relay/fuse I would be grateful, perhaps it is due to the relative scarcity of the Sportbrake model, but there doesn't appear to be any specific diagrams of the fuses for same, in case there are some differences.

Hi Peter, your information may be causing some confusion as you talk about a 2013 Jaguar XF Sportbrake in your initial post, but your profile indicates you have a 2016 XF. These years are in different "model designations" for the XF. The earlier years (2008 - 2014) were X-250, whilst the later years (2015 to end) are the X-260.

You need to be clear on which model when searching the net for applicable wiring / fuse diagrams as they will be different. The good news is that there are manuals / diagrams on the net, but most are to purchase a download and fro that you would be best to pay for short term access to the Jaguar TOPIX system, where the information will be correct and uncorrupted.

Apologies,

I had a 2016 Jaguar XF R Sport, 2.0d.

Its engine ate itself and I've been without a Jag until last week, when I invested in a 2014 Jaguar XF Sportbrake, 2.2d.

Which is why my information request was for the latter, not the former.

And, I've been going through the correct fuse diagrams for my model of car, to no avail.

None of the functions that have been lost appear accountable by a fuse, however I will check the fuse boards for corrosion before I invest in new components.

If you have two things not working at the rear, then it’s very likely the electrical cables where they enter the tailgate at the top right. These go through a lot of movement with opening and closing of the tailgate - and it’s not abnormal for them to break at this point.
