So, I am driving along and everything seems fine. I pull into a driveway and put the XJ into reverse...DEAD! The engine just dies on me. This was at night so I couldn't see well. I walked about a mile to a local store and got myself a flashlight, turns out one of the 15 amp fuses in the PDC (engine compartment) blew. I checked the electrical diagrams in my manual and it doesn't really show what that leads to, but I 'think' it goes to the fuel pump because I don't hear the pump turn on when the fuse blows.
I replaced the fuse and it drove just fine. I have driven the XJ ~60 miles since then with no problems...UNTIL TODAY! I pulled up to my house and put it in reverse to align myself with the curb, and it cuts out again. When this happens none of the gauges work either if that helps. I am supposed to drive up to WA from CA on Wednesday so I need to fix this.
Anyone have ideas? I searched and the only thing that came up was the fuel pump, but it runs fine most of the time. In both instances I had just put the XJ into reverse.
HELP PLEASE!!!! I'm unemployed and cannot afford to take my XJ to the dealer right now.
