Hood not locking and rear windows not working on 1999 XKR

[David Jay]

Problem occurred when battery went flat and an attempt was made close the  roof and it would not complete the locking cycle

after the battery was recharged the roof and closing the rear windows will not work

Hi David

No experience of the XK but not dissimilar problem to one I encountered in my XF following a flat battery. Problem is probably the relevant module had it's software corrupted by the low voltage. One place that has been mentioned on the forums before who deal with this sort of issue by sorting the software is MDM in Coalville Leicestershire. Might be worth giving them a call: Phone: 01530 838666

Hi David,

You May have to manually close the roof fully in order to reset the system.

This will help you out and also aid in understanding the system.
