Car hydroplaned and slide backwards into guard rail. Car won't start and fuel pump emergency shut down switch button will not stay in!

2000 s type jaguar

 

Is the security indicator on the dash going out when ign is turned on.

If it is, then if you are sure everything is working no fuel leaks etc disconnect battery for 5 mins and then reconnect and press inertia switch in again.

Listen to see if the fuel pump runs if it is, then you may be flooded put throttle to carpet and try to start.

Try the inertia switch (see handbook - but is often via a hole at the dash end).
