Hi, thank you for access in your forum. My car is XJ6, 2009, x350. About 3 weeks is complete dead, I replace battery , and after only the horn works. Nothing else more. Thank you for your help.

 

Hi Carlos
I am sorry you have not had a reply yet.

Your fault is very unusual and I can only suggest that you download a copy of

the Electrical Guide from the sticky on this forum and starting form the battery,

check the connections,the mega fuses etc.

 

Hi Carlos

I'm not sure where Pereira is, (is it Colombia ?) but clearly English is not your first language. We do see quite a few posts from other parts of the world on this forum. I can understand German, but not Spanish, sorry ! We really need a lot more information about your car before any good advice can be given. Did you use Google Translate to convert from Spanish to English ? If not, try it and then post here. You can also send me a message in Spanish if you want, my wife is Italian and may be able to help me translate. The two languages have similarities.

 

Maybe new battery needs charging.

 

By the only thing working is the horn, does he maybe mean the alarm sounder, when he's hooking the battery up is it going off?. if it is, just continue to hook up the battery, and then use the key fob to disarm it. just a thought

 

Try cleaning the battery cable terminals. Afterwards, make sure that they make a good snug connection with the battery posts. If still no luck, make sure that all of the electrical ground connections inside the trunk are snug as well. If the problem still persists, measure the battery voltage with a voltmeter to insure that you have at least 12 VDC present. Keep us posted.


Intente limpiar los terminales del cable de la batería. Luego, asegúrese de que hacen una buena ceñida conexión con los bornes de la batería. Si no hay suerte, asegúrese de que todas las conexiones electricas a tierra dentro de la cajuela estén bien ajustados. Si el problema persiste, medir la tensión de la batería con un voltímetro para asegurarse de que tenga al menos 12 VDC presentes. Mantenernos informados.
