Angry S-Type lost all power, won't crank

I go to my car and when I open the door, no lights come on and when I try to turn it on, it wouldn't crank or anything. Nothing is working on it but it was working fine last night, and I can't jump it because I backed into the garage and the gear changer won't move out of park. I need help ASAP !

Can you get to the battery? If so, you could put a charger on it or remove it and connect it in parallel to another battery in another car so it can pick up a charge. You don't need to run the second car. Just connect it as if you were going to jump it (+ to + and - to -) and go have a few cups of coffee.

Before you ask, the trunk can be opened by inserting the key into the hole under the letter U in Jaguar on the trunk lid.

Sadly, it's backed into a one car garage. Do you know if anything could've came loosen or anything? Like the horn and lights isn't working, my remote to unlock or lock or pop the trunk isn't working, and I can't push it out the garage because it won't come out of park

Before any of this happened, a message keep popping on saying " CATS System Fault". I don't if this will help but hopefully it will

You can get into the trunk through the back seat.

Or apply power as stated in previous threads on the same subject.

Post #16 is the one to read. pay no attention to the thread title, don't try and start from under the hood.

Yes, I know how to get into the trunk, I have the trunk open, but the problem is, is that I have the car backed into a One Car garage so there's no way I can get a jumper cable from the trunk all the way to another car. Do anybody know what probably went wrong with my Jaguar to make it lose all power to everything?

Some choices

1) hook up a battery charger to give you enough power to shift into neutral so you can push the car out of it's slot

2) remove the booster battery from the other car and put in within range of your cables

3) get longer cables

Glad you found it. You may have set a new world record for battery durability, maybe contact Jaguar to see if they want to put it in their museum.
