Default That little fuse just don't want to leave

Hello to you all, it's me again with another riddle, 2012 XF 5.0 NA. I have a problem with a fuse. In the engine bay there is a 50 Amp fuse that don't want out. I have looked it up and it is a blue fuse with a clear cover . The diagram states that it is an engine management fuse. I think has a small screw holding it in. There are 2 red wires going into the fuse. It sits in the fuse box next to a relay. I will be a monkeys uncle but that screw doesn't leave room for an open end 9mm to turn the nut off. Does anyone know if there is a special wrench needed to remove the nut and washer holding the fuse into the box.. I am having problems with the car starting . I am getting a crank no start situation. I have a feeling that there has been some individuals removing or relocating some relays that may prevent my car from starting. I have a fuse diagram but I can't find a relay diagram. I seen that a forum member had made one but I believe it was for the super charged motor. Does anyone know where to find a RELAY diagram for the 2012 5.0 NA motor?? And that dang fuse is still stuck in the fuse box with its nut and washer.

Maybe post a picture of what the problem is?
Always a bit tough to understand from a description.

Do you have a service manual? Might be worth it to get a copy off EBay?

The fuse to the right. Yes the one i demolished trying to get it out. Can anyone give me a trick or even a treat, on HOW TO GET IT OUT??

Here is a pic of my relays and fuse is anything missing?

The 2 empty spots at the top are labled as not used in the diagram that i have, yet there are 2 red 8ga wires going up and into the slots??

Does anyone see anything that is missing?? I have heard the jaguars OM is at times iffy on the info within so i am showing you my panels to see if anyone sees a problem .

Here is what mine looks like.

The red 50amp fuses can be removed just by pulling them out vertically--you may have to use a small flat screw driver as a lever to get them moving. The thing you have destroyed is the 100 amp fuse for the cooling fan.

There is a list of fuses with rating, color and function in your Owners Handbook p192 and the location of the fuses in the fuse box are shown in the inside of the fuse box lid. The relays locations are also shown inside the fuse box lid. Relay functions you can get from the 2012 Electrical Manual. If you cannot find the 2012 Electrical Manual I can send you a PDF file. Just PM me your email address. If you do not have a fuse box lid let me know and I will post pictures in this thread.

Thanks a million 6 rotors. I don't have the owners manual and the lid of my fusebox has only numbers

Why do you think someone has been in there removing stuff? Was it serviced some where?
Jaguar uses the same fuse box regardless of how the car is equipped so there will always be empty fuse and relay positions.

Six rotors excellent pictures and descriptions are a real help. We know that big blue one is for the cooling fan.

With your problems you need to scan the car to see what's going on?
If not start with the basics and see if you have spark and fuel. If not find out why.

Why not get the hand book with that information in it?
They are free? I can't post it because it's too big but it just takes a simple search to find it?
2012 XF Owners Hand Book

Again consider getting the service manual as well. These are required if you plan to work on the car.
