A short in the door (window motor circuit) would trip the thermal cut-out, and only when the window switch is operated. Same for door lock solenoids.
I will have to obtain an ammeter.
I am on vacation for 5 weeks, and will not be able to post again until May.
The XJ Jag wiring was designed in the sixties, so I guess we cannot expect too much....

the XJ6 I worked on always had 12 volts to the window motor. the return ground was used to complete the circuit. so 12 volts always on.. yes it will blow circuit if a good solid connection ..also wiring has no protection , dash is a nightmare..
