Gang, my 2009 XF suddenly and without symptoms, decided to go awry this morning. It will not start. The battery is newish and I am certain is not the problem. There are interior lights and door locks, but no steering wheel lock and when press the start button with foot on the brake, nothing happens. This is the same car that cost me $5000 a few years ago to get fixed when it decided to lose fob programming and blew instrument cluster, cpu, new fobs etc..... I am fearful I have a recurrence for no reason at all.

Couple of observations......there is a relay in the luggage fuse box that is continuously clicking if I try to lock doors. The seat adjustment light is blinking. Those two conditions did not exist when I had the first catastrophe years ago. I disconnected negative at battery and reconnected after a couple minutes, no change. I did same on positive side. No change. Out of desperation I inserted my spare fob into the docking port and the port has locked onto the fob now and will not release it. There are no messages on instrument display..nothing. Nothing is working, windows radio, nothing. But multitester showing more than 12v without load.

I've looked all over internet for fuse diagram of 09 XF luggage, but I can not fine one that looks like mine. On mine there are three relays at the bottom of the board and the center one is the one clicking. Does anyone know what that is or any other ideas?

 

Hi there, this forum is for the current models from year 2015 and onward. There is another forum called XF and XFR (X250) model years 2007 -2015. To simplify, just copy the OP & paste it over there.

 

No post yet on x250 forum...

How was/is your XF vs your old S-Type?
Other than more evolved, is there anything you missed about your S-type?

Thanks!

 

I still have the 05 S type. It's a simpler car for me to diy. Has 215000 miles but still going. The XF is possessed.
