2013 Jaguar XF - not starting after battery change
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Hello every one,
I have a 2013 Jaguar XF and it was working well until a few weeks back. Then on a very cold day February morning, suddenly the car refused to start. I thought it make have to do with the cold weather and old battery. So I left the car stationary for a few weeks and last week I changed to a new battery, however even now the car refuses to start. When I press the "Start" button once, the main screen and the instrument panel starts working. But the "gear selector" doesn't pop up. I also get a message to press the brake and press the START button. When I do that, I just hear a few clicking sound, no cranking noise or anything. But the "press the brake" message disappears, which indicates that the brake pedal switch is working. But the engine still doesn't start and the gear selector doesn't pop up.
I guess it may be some thing to do with the gear selector not working or the starter motor. So can any one please give any suggestions on how to identify the problem and resolve this?

Clicking starter is usually not enough battery charge to start the car.
Was the battery fully charged before replacement, or did we just take the suppliers word for having done that. Check the voltage reading at the terminals, need 12.6 and greater. Don't jump start it because of risk to frying overly sensitive electronics.
The gear selector doesn't rise until the car is actually started.
