[xj40] XJ40 88 radio wiring diagram

Dear Fellow Enthusiasts,

I have removed the Jaguar radio from a '88 Sovereign. I
wish to know the 12v+ wire, the earth wire, and the wires +
and - for the left and right speakers. The other wires are
unimportant.

Yours sincerely,

Peter Parsons. Corwnall UK.–

Peter…

I don’t know if you noticed it when you removed your radio, but on
my 1989 it had a huge flat braided grounding wire going from the
back of the radio chassis to the car. I have no idea why they used
such a big ground.–

Thank you gentlemen for replying to my query regarding the
wiring of the '88 XJ40 radio cassette unit. It is
interesting to see that there is a separate feed to the bass
units which suggest that a filtered audio supply is made to
the main speakers as well as to the bass units.

The heavy earth strap is certainly a hindrance for anyone
wishing to steal a unit.

Yours sincerely,

Peter Parsons.–
