Found this... It's an earlier XJ, but maybe yours is the same??

what year?

there are separate ground legs for the light and chime circuits, and there is a chime/buzzer in the fuse panel on some of them

I believe the chime is part of the instrument cluster for the 97+.

Ah, didn't see the postscript reference to 99.

On the earlier models, there are three wires on the drivers door jamb switch (only the drivers door). One is ground supply, the other two are ground returns for (a) the cabin lighting and (b) the chime circuit. Pretty easy to test that, look for continuity between ground supply and the body, then look for continuity between the other two legs. Could be a defective door jamb switch too. Dont know if this applies to your '99 or not.

Well, it is for sure in the 99 instrument cluster, so you win the cookie this time! :cheers:
