I would disconnect the brake light and test that you have power at the plug when the brake pedal is pushed before you go spending a lot of money on what may not be needed. It could also be a bad ground on that side.
-
Measuring the voltage of the battery with a multimeter or plug in device gives no indication of the capacity of the battery, it merely shows the terminal voltage. A battery can quite easily show 12.8v on a meter and have very little capacity to do anything.
-
Could well be the starter motor or solenoid sticking, a tap with a mallet may free it off. Do check that you have 12.8v on the new battery also.

I would say from looking at the diagrams, one of your “door ajar switches” may be a little sticky. Fig 09.01 of this manual refers, http://www.jagrepair.com/images/Electrical/STypeElectrical/2003 MY S-Type Electrical Guide.pdf

Get yourself a code reader to start with, it will save you hundreds of pounds in diagnostic fees. I feel sure that your problem is due to a faulty ride height sensor, though you will need a code reader to tell you which one.

Are you sure there is a second battery on a 2016MY?
-
First things first, fully charge the battery preferably overnight. When charged, check the voltage at the battery, it should be 12.8v. Start the car and see if you still have the warning. If you do then check the voltage at the battery again with the engine running, should be in the region of 14.3v - 14.8v. We need these basic checks in order to know which direction to go.

The same applies, if you do not have the BMS fitted at the negative terminal, as you don’t, then direct to the battery terminals is ok.

question about these markings on my valve cover
Jimbov8 replied to mott's topic in New Members Introductions
That has been butchered. The only way around that is to remove it and have it professionally milled. -
It costs nothing to try, look forward to hearing how you get on.🙂

A quick look at the classifieds will give you an idea of how much these cars fetch, in running order. However, 4 new tyres, brakes, possible suspension parts, not to mention engine recommissioning and the inevitable rust. Based on this and why it was laid up in the first place, I wouldn’t go above 2k. As you say, you won’t know unless you ask.
-
You will need the 19” black space saver, this is to ensure it clears the larger brake callipers on the xkr’s. As to getting one, good luck as I’m still looking.
-
Personally, I would remove the seat base first then remove the door card and then operate the lock manually to open the door.
-
Fingers crossed for you. I would keep the new sensors for a week at least just in case, until you have a bit more confidence in the car. Thanks for the update.

ABS, Forward Alert, ASPC & Emergency Brake Assist Not available
Jimbov8 replied to Nosmo's topic in Jaguar Technical
Charge your battery and then check again. These cars do not function well with a less than fully charged battery. Always the first thing to check especially when they disappear upon a restart. -
Let’s us know how you get on.👍

If you don’t already have it, here is the electrical manual for your car. http://www.jagrepair.com/images/Electrical/XFElectrical/2009 MY XF Electrical Guide.pdf

Great news and thanks for the update.👍

Excellent news and thanks for the update.👍

There is a known issue with water from the windscreen washer pump wicking into the electrics, specifically causing corrosion in the Central Junction Box/fuse panel in the drivers footwell, which can result in all kinds of electrical issues. There is an updated washer pump and wiring as a fix but it is not a cheap job so worth checking for signs of water ingress and corrosion in the said panel. There is plenty of info about this if you do a Google search. Worth a look.

Either your battery is completely flat or your alternator has gone south either way, some voltage checks would prove useful.

Not quite, the 10 has the same supply function.
