So I recently purchased my first Jaguar. A 2010 XF. I knew when I was buying it that it had some issues (mainly the water pump and BMS) but I wanted it so bad I couldn't pass it up for the price, especially after hearing it start up, gotta love that "purr" 😍. Anyways so after about a month of issue after issue now suddenly it won't start. The starter clicks but no crank. I did what any reasonable low budget mechanic would and tapped a screwdriver to the starter. The starter spins just fine. But when I do that there's no click. I get in press the brake hit the push button and click no spin. Pretty confident my starter is fine so my next guess is the batterys dead. Or maybe a relay? It's been about 2 weeks now I've been trying to get this thing to do something to no avail. Anyone have any suggestions? Experience something similar? Any help is greatly appreciated as I do not want to have to sell it but unfortunately it's cost me a lot of work at this point. Somethings gotta give 😓

 

So I decided that I would jump the relays to verify which did what. By doing so I discovered the rely I thought was the starter was not. When I found the correct rely and jumped it my starter cranked and now will crank when I press the start button. However it still not starting
