Missing Fuses and Relays
So I recently was in a DV situation and the abuser removed what looks like to me about 5 fuses and 5 relays. I can't find any information on exactly which relays I am actually missing. I am thinking that maybe there are slots open that should be open like some of the fuses. I'm wondering can anyone help me figure ot out?
Might help if you go thru all of your cars features and find out what's not working anymore.
A bit of back ground might also help. I had what I thought was a battery issue and got an error message that said "battery is not charging." Well it wasn't and I found myself stranded. Purchased a new battery took off and within the hour drained that one also. So I had had a bad alternator and that got replaced and let me just say it was not by any means an easy job for my mechanic. So that's fixed the battery was charged and put back in then my fob wasn't recognized by the car took the neg battery cable off for 30 minutes when I replaced it my car recognized it. However still didn't start. I called AAA and they came tested my battery and it's good. So started looking around and realized some fuses rand possibly relays are missing.
I would but I can't even get it started. even the starter solenoid/ Twin solenoid fuses are missing. It isnt able to put the parking break on, errors for everything.

Worth reading this, lots of problems can happen when disconnecting the battery on a facelift xf. Where are you based??

Looking at the photos, I can only see one of those positions that actually has more than one contact fitted ( though best have a good look from different angles, and if there's no or only one contact than a fuse/relay was never fitted in that location). Between the dark grey relay, and green fuse in the top row, of the top picture looks to have both contact for a fuse. Fuse number should be written on the inside of the fusebox cover, than look for that fuse number in the manual.
When you say it still doesn't start, what happens, does it give a message about smart key not found on the instrument cluster, or give a sequence of flashes from the alarm light on top of the dash, or crank but not actually keep running for example?
Fuses will vary by engine and trim level too, so if you state what engine and trim it is someone with the same variant may be able to check against their fusebox.
