jaguar xj 2.7

 

Is that all you're going to tell us ? We're not clairvoyant here y'know

 

Magic 8-ball says.....

 

Voltage???

 

2008 xj not cranking all fuses and relay checked ,new battery fitted,cleaned and checked earth points checked starter ok not getting a feed to starter tryed spare keys
never not start before.

 

Is the PATS LED blinking or solid in the middle of the dash when you insert key to start?

 

If the engine isn't cranking at all, I would certainly start by placing a voltmeter across the battery, and monitor the voltage while attempting to start the vehicle. The voltage will normally dip slightly if the battery is driving a good amount of load such as that, but I wouldn't expect it to dip below 12V in any case. By the way, precisely what new battery did you install?

 

jaguar xj not starting, dash is saying h/brake not applied .g/box fault.criuse not available dsc not available all have come on since nor starting and cannot apply hand brake

 

hi ,warning light blinks once in centre off dash on turning key . battery fitted is 90ah .800 a ew jag/land rover. has not run since 14th december,l will check voltage on battery in morning

 

+1 on the above plus your last quote would indicate a battery with a very low output.

It may be new however it may need charging. Also Jaguars like calcium plate technology batteries not your run of the mill lead acid despite what dealers might install.

 

What prompted you to replace the old battery?

 

hi will check in morning what kind of battery has been supplied

 

hi l had old battery on charge but it run down quickly
