![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Hello all! I have a 2016 F-Type with 1,100 miles. I am down at the beach enjoying the drive with the top down whe the dashboard light started flashing and i lost power. I pulled over, stopped and restarted and everything seemed back in order. Later that day the car would not start. Jag road side assistance try to jump start me but nothing worked. Now being towed back tobthe dealer. Anyone ever have this experience? If so, what was the issue? Let me know. Thanks!

2. Did Jag Roadside try connecting to the battery or did they connect at the terminals in the engine compartment?
It could be nothing more than a loose battery cable.

Although it happened to me shortly after arriving home.
The only way to get the car to restart (given that JRA couldn't get at the battery as nothing electrical was working despite the voltage at the jump start terminals being over 12v), was to disconnect the power leads from the main fuse board.
It thn started fine. A trip to the dealers suggested that the main Earth connection was loose...
