So my ASE certified, 30 year master mechanic replaced the evaporator in this 2013 XK. He installed the new battery correctly but now has an issue with the rear fuse box, p/n W83-14D628-AG. He's indicating that there is a fusible link that has blown on this box. That blown link has affected 5 modules downstream, the AC module, trans, ABS among them.

This is coming after an extensive repair that saw the replacement of the evaporator core where the entire dash and center console were removed from the car to complete the operation. The work itself was smooth and uneventful. My mechanic assures me that all connections were made properly and that no wires are broken or pinched.

My question is one of "the battery disconnection issue" that some claim may happen if you disconnect the battery from the car and if this is a thing, and if it is, what can be done about it. As it stands, i'm in the doghouse and may have to live on the street since someone is about to kill me if i can't get this car up and running. Help!

 

I'm afraid this:
" My mechanic assures me that all connections were made properly and that no wires are broken or pinched. " requires another glance.

 

I think the onus is on the mechanic not you to solve this issue.

 

I agree with those two guys ^ ^ ^ ^

 

There's no question the mechanic is responsible to resolve it, and he knows this as well. The purpose of my post was to see if anyone may have some similar experience with circumstances like this.

 

And if anyone wants to see the photos of the repair, here they are:
