Electrical problems
have 2003 Jaguar S-Type we're working with, confailulations
seems the battery was being changed to a new battery, by accident when tightening the Positive lead the wrench touched a ground and it sparked
now the fuse box in the trunk makes a clicking sound and there no power the vehicle (Headlights, ignition, seats ect.). Main fuse in the trunk is still intact
Fuse box in trunk show 12V
however fuses in the Engine Bay and Interior (Passenger) fuse box shows 5V
which is unusual, can someone point me in the correct direction?

have you tried a full reboot , by disconnecting the earth lead , wait a min . then touch the earth strap to the positive lead for 30sec , then wait a min and reconnect the earth strap to the battery , reset park brake via message center instructions and reset stereo , make sure you have any stereo codes if required prior to reboot .

The reboot mentioned above is a 'faint hope clause' that only has a 1% chance of working unfortunately. It's more likely that you've fried one or more modules.
The error of inadvertently touching the positive terminal to ground is one we see over and over here. The golden rule is to never go near the positive terminal if the negative cable is attached to the battery.
