Asked by Cp65 May 13, 2015 at 09:18 PM about the 2010 Jaguar XF XF Premium RWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Lately my car makes a clicking noise and won't start. I replaced the battery. When you
wait a few minutes and try again it starts. The engine light recently came on and the next
day it was off.

It is most likely a faulty starter selinoid. or a loose connection at the battery or the selinoid.

I had the same problem, if I leave it overnight it starts up, drove it for an hour or two turn engine off try to start again, it won't start up, then on the dash all warning messages comes up. Took my car to a jaguar specialist and they told me the rear fuse box is mouldy and it cause the immobilizer to get faulty. Is this possible?
