After reading the question for: "circuit 1 failure" I decided to post my experience with the related "circuit 2 Failure" read on:
On the dash there was a "circuit 2 failure message on my 1988 XJ40 or XJ6. After some poking around I noticed that the fuse for the Auxiliary Electric Fan on the radiator up front was blown. I replaced it, but after another drive was blown again. Some more poking around turned out that the Fan was in a rather sorry state of rust and barely turning thus creating a short and melting the fuse as soon as the relay will try to turn the circuit on. The fuse is not really labeled properly (and I don't really remember right now what position it was) However it is controlling the AC relay and all that grouping, Fan relay also. Checked the wires and fuse socket for signs of melting from somebody that might have put a higher amp fuse but found no problems. So I got a nice new looking Fan from the junkyard and the problem dissapeared and never I have seen it again...
The car had many electrical problems to the point that the Electronic display was starting to look like a Christmas tree dispaly, flashing through various varnings and driving me nuts. With patience and using the info I have found on the web I have eliminated them all, except for a bulb failure warning that is really for real and legitimate (I am missing the light on the rear left bumper corner) Strangely enough the warning goes away sometimes for hours at a time...
I don't own the original manual that came with the car, howver I think I have just about all documentation that is available for the XJ40 cars plus all the info on the web but nowhere there is any reference to any of the misterious "circuit n failure" warnings... All the other were somewhat clearer: (ABS) and so forth but these were a puzzle.Hope this helps somebody Cheers!!!
Reply from Olen1009...I just bought an '89 XJ6 with a circuit 2 failure and, assuming the manuals are similar, the original manual wouldn't help you. There is nothing in it about fuses except the locations of the 3 fuse panels. Period!
What else can I help you with?
What is the difference between Jaguar xjs and Jaguar xj40?
well fist of all the xjs is a two door V-12 and the xj40 is a four door. also the xj40 was supposed to be a newer and better xj6 but in my opinion the xj40 with those square headlights and boxy look is one of the ugliest jaguars ever built. "just not a looker" there made in different years.

The Jaguar XJ40 and XJ300 have different radio designs and wiring configurations, so a radio from an XJ40 may not fit directly into an XJ300 without modifications. Additionally, the dashboard and interior layout changed between these two models, which can affect fitment. If you're considering a swap, it's advisable to check compatibility in terms of dimensions and electrical connections.

Jaguar XJ40 the rear doors will not open from the outside anymore only from inside - how do you fix this?
XJ40 door handles are made out of a very brittle metal that breaks easily. On the inside of the handle is a protruding arm into which is inserted a rod that is pushed down to release the latch when you pull up on the handle. The arm on your door handles is broken. You can buy rear handles on Ebay. Take care to get the proper year. 1988-1990 handles are smaller than 1991-1994 handles. The good news is that the rear handles are interchangable left to right, as they have the little arms at both sides of the handle. Kids and ham-handed buffoons do not mix well with XJ40 door handles.
