Hi There
Thank you for accepting me into the forum, my name is Phil from Devon but currently living in the USA. Purchased a 2007 XJ8L with 35000 miles on the clock. Of course seller was not 100 % honest and the so called "oh not sure why the handbrake doesn't work" was way more involved than the statement. Checked out the codes with the ICARSOFT scanner and it pointed to the EPB unit, checked the output from the unit and there is no 12 volt to drive the actual actuator. applied and independent 12 volts to the actuator output wires and the actuator functions. So purchased a used in good condition EPB unit and of course that's not the problem. So last thing is the actual handbrake switch in the center console.
I would be interested to know the procedure to get the switch out, I don't want to cannibalize the console as its immaculate. Also anyone know which are the wires that go into the EPB unit so i can try to replicate the switch action. any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
My thanks in Advance
