Help.. I am working on a jaguar x type 2002. I was able to drive car into garage to install drive shaft. Then after I replaced broken one the car will not move.

 

kind of vague, won't start, won't shift, won't engage????

 

First the basics, these car's computer would look at the battery voltage and won't even try to crank it. In other words, if the car is at 12.6 volts then good, but if it is at let say 9.8 volts it wont even try. Every other car would crank slowly but this one won't. Put a voltmeter (10 dollar one is fine) across the battery and see the voltage. How long has the car been sitting?

 

Did you take it off the jackstands? Seriously, if the engine is running and you put the car in gear it's supposed to move. If not, there's something borked in the tranny or T/C.

 

My guess...since these cars have open differentials, which means a spinning "wheel" gets all the power, I would say that your new axle is not connected internally. This would cause the output for that axle to divert all drivetrain power away from the wheels that were not disturbed during the R&R.

 

Thanks all for replies. Took it to shop appears to be somethin broke in the transfer case
