HELP! Teenager with first car - absolutely clueless.

First off, I have a 1989 Jag XJ6. New battery. Recently I went to start my car, and the seatbelts and starter engaged, but only for a second. Then I lost all power to the car. If I turned the steering wheel a certain way, the power came back. I tried starting it again, and the same result happened. If the keys were out of the ignition, I heard an electrical buzzing/clicking coming from somewhere in the dashboard. I have since disconnected the battery to prevent anything else from happening. Does anybody have ANY clue what's going on? Thanks for helping me out!

 

hi,
you have a Series 4 XJ-40, also known as XJ-6, but this forum is for the Series 1, 2, and 3 XJ-6.

post your question in the XJ-40 starting in 1988.

 

Thanks - I don't know much about my car so my apologies for posting in the incorrect thread.

 

no problem, happens all the time.
