Just wondering how a Jag dealer would be able to repair the car if totally dead and unable to connect the SDD? There must be some way to bring the power back up. Unless they have an idea of which module is holding off the power and replace it. There is an almighty fuse in the trunk if I remember rightly, maybe worth a check.

If it were me, I wouldn't do anything else to the vehicle until I replaced the battery with a fully charged, brand new battery. I wouldn't waste time jump starting or determining battery health status. I'd have an auto parts store fully charge a battery overnight and install it tomorrow. Then and only then can you determine if you bricked anything. My guess is at most you bricked a seat module but no one can know this without knowing every step you took and why, etc, and certainly can't know anything without a battery replacement.

Good luck. Auxiliary Junction Box junction box is between the rear seats, center panel is easily removed.

You could have toasted the battery esp if it's old with the power drain, door open, ignition on. I toasted my older battery having the doors open to do some cleaning. I think the battery was around 6 years old - i didn't connect a charger while doing the work. It would not take a charge after the cleaning. New batt $220 Canadian.
