Hi
I wonder if someone can offer some advice. My 1989 Jag 3.6 XJS has been outside (under cover) for the winter so far. I went to start it today and nothing! I have re-connected a charged battery but it just won't turn the engine.
When I do try to start it all the electrics shut down for a few moments, then reset.

Thanks

Nigel

 

Off the cuff it sounds like the starter is a dead player, with the "shut down" of the electrics being the huge power drop as the (likely seized) starter sucks off all available amps trying to operate.

Thanks Doug,
We wondered if that might be the case.
