NOTORIOUS// replace the ignition switch and you'll be fine. switch is still live when you take your key out. there's a short from the switch to the battery.

Put an ammeter between battery terminal and main earth lead see how much current is being drawn through it. Should only be clock, alarm etc. If higher take the fuses out one after another till you dont have a lot of current going though it and thats the faulty circuit.

My speedometer stopped working in my XK8 jaguar. first intermittently. worked when cold out side

People on the Jaguar Forums say a poor ground (earth ) connection can cause this symptom. A block of relays control the instrument panel including the speedometer. a corroded or intermittently connected ground. could be it. cold corroded connector would conduct better than a hot one.

Or the relay could be defective.

My ABS light came on about 3 months ago. Around the same time my speedometer started jumping and acting erratic. Now it doesn't work at all. I haven't gotten my ABS fixed yet. Does the ABS have...

unfortunately it doesn't, it runs off of a different speed sensor.. these vehicles are known for the speedo going out their is a defect in the instrument cluster, and you will have to have the entire unit replaced. while working at a gm dealer, I replaced hundreds of them..

Two questions: Is your odometer working? If not then it's probably a broken gear by the stepper motor that Emissionwiz mentioned. Is your ABS and/or TRACS light on intermittently or constantly. If so that is a common sign your ABS control module has gone or is going bad. This usually happens before the speedometer starts acting up. Either one of these will start intermittently and finally end up with the speedometer not functioning at all, and both are pretty common failures with this model.
