More Details well i took off the starter took it to get tested it checked out to be fine took off the battery took it to get tested checked out fine fully charged put everything back in its place and attempted to turn on the car now when i turned the ignition the lights radio all stayed the same it did not loose power all i would hear was a click like noise clicking and a sort of humm under the hood but no ignition does not start or even try to wind up to start
yet there is power going to all the electrical what could this be somebody told me about the starter relay i wonder if someone else has had an issue with that before what do you think the problem could be .![Icon Shrug](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_shrug.gif)

David, I would first start with replacing the positive battery cable and seeing if that fixes anything. You can also use a jumper cable and connect it between the block of the car and the negative battery cable. If the car starts with the jumper cable installed (you are bypassing the negative battery cable that is currently installed), then you know you have a bad negative battery cable.
It is possible also that the relay for the starter is bad and you are not getting sufficient voltage to the starter for it to get full power.
