car not starting after rear caliper replacement
I am having a problem Starting My Car,
I just changed the rear pads and caliper on my 2013 XF V6 SC with 83,000 miles. I tried to start it after flushing the brake fluid, and the dash came on, but the engine didn't start. I get the “press the brake pedal while starting” message. I press it all the way to the floor, and it does nothing. The only thing I hear is two click sounds from the engine. I checked the battery, as suggested in other posts, and it is fully charged. I bleeded all the brakes. I used 2 person method. The only thing I can think of is that the starter has gone bad, but the car was working perfectly fine before. So I have no idea what could have gone wrong while replacing the rear calipers.
Any suggestions?
Thank you
