Why does the chime not work XK8 1997?

The chime in a 1997 Jaguar XK8 may not work due to a blown fuse, a faulty chime module, or issues with the door switches that signal whether the doors are open or closed. Additionally, if there's a problem with the vehicle's electrical system or wiring, it could prevent the chime from functioning. Checking the fuses and ensuring the door switches are operational are good first steps in troubleshooting the issue. If these components are functioning properly, further diagnosis may be needed.
