The Jaguar XF wont unlock, open or start, the last time it was used the indicators were playing up, flashing randomly.
after investigation all the faults were traced to water ingress into the boot, where the spare wheel
, battery and fuse box is situated.

Well done...this is how videos should go...NO crazy loud heavy bass music at different sound levels throughout the vid, straight to the point! Brilliant
Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
The message in the video basically is go out and drill a drain hole in the boot of your XF now. Top stuff young man!

I am on this thread today to thank you, my 16 xf stopped tuning on this Thursday, tried jumping first time it worked so i said IT’s battery, got a new battery and when i opened the trunk removed the spare, all i can see is water, i was surprised to say the least, it shouldn’t be no water there, i emptied it, it’s was a lot of water, just like you said up to the bottom of the fuse box, i changed the battery and put everything back together, it started fine, at this point i didn’t think about the plug that was submerged in the water, i drove the car but as soon as turned it off, it doesn’t want to start, my key fob is not recognized, at this point i am giving up hope and i was calling the dealership for service. Last night i told myself let me check online to see if anyone had this happen to them. And voila the first video is your video. I woke up next day and cleaned the plug, and now the car is working perfectly. I even went ahead and returned the new battery and kept my old one.
Brilliant news Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Had exactly the same after using a powerhouse to wash my car.... Hazards going off whilst driving etc Unable to open the car with the fob. AA guy said the fuse box was under water and connectors corroded. Good video.
Thanks for the great comments 👍🏻👍🏻🛠
I think u hit it on the nose if u have these car do not take them in a drive thru car wash please everyone
Great Vid, thanks for your time doing it.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
You saved me from goin to the repair shop... I told my husband to watch your video after sending him it the first time .. I ACTUALLY MADE HIM SIT DOWN AND LISTEN TO YOUR VIDEO. HE FOLLOWED UR INSTRUCTIONS AND IT WORKED!!! THANK YOU
Glad I could help, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
I'm having this problem 2x now, my repairman had me get a new starter each time. Its already back in the shop currently. Im giving him a call about this. I even told him about the faulty signals and lights. Hmm.
Thanx a lot for the video, 'cause in service I was told I shold change control block and this one not very cheap (i have light flickering), i had found a water and dried it, the flickering's stopped :) Think you save my money keep the like and subscription!
great news Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Gonna try it on mine tomorrow. Fingers crossed. Cheers man 👍
Good luck! Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Thank you, Just bought a 2011 XF

Usual place for water leak in boot is slam vents behind rear bumper, just need re-sealing. Think it can be done with small hands without taking bumper off.
Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠
It can , but there only about £13 new from jaguar, and can be removed and refitted without removing bumper.
Hahah good advice, we get one last week with same problem, customer paid jaguar £2400 to change body control modules imo and programming but no luck, then they recovered to my garage and then I found same plug totally corroded, I connected directly band car started fine, now customers fighting to get money back from jaguar for failure to diagnose and for changing good to good parts
Love that😂 thanks for the great comments 👍🏻👍🏻🛠
ive had the same problem with water, now having issues with the indicators. Going to check now!
Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Very usefull info. Thanks.

Had same water issue in boot drained it all out like you did cleaned wiring plugs. Changed battery twice. Car starts etc but battery goes dead by the morning
You will need to run a drain test on the vehicles electrical system to find out where the drain on the battery is coming from, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Sure you are from near from where I was born, in Burton On Trent? Thanks for the info. Doing a X300 at the moment, trying to resolder the ABS anti Skid, They are hard to get the plastic cover off ..may have to heat the glue to remove it.....Martin
I am from Leicester, good luck with the x300 Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Hi a was jumping my friends car with my 2009 xf and smoke came from under bonnet and my jag cut out now no power to anything no ignition lights nothing do u know if there a main power fuse from alternator to battery control module?? Thanks martin
Sounds like the leads might have been on back to front, if the smoke came from the front you might have burnt out the alternator or engine loom, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Interesting, will have to take a look. My issue is the 'warning battery not charging light' coming on from time to time, notably when the weather is damp or raining. After driving for a while and then a restart the light stays off.
That is usually the alternator starting to fail, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
You may have water in boot rotting your loom check immediately
Thanks this just happened to me
Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Hi,have you ever experience where the boot is showing in the dash-that it is open not allowing the door to close with the FOB but the boot is actually close.
check the latch switch in the boot, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
@@aaanton11 I change it and still nothing 🤦🏻♂️
@@aaanton11 I found the issue it was the junction box in the trunk the voltage was 11.9V so I clean the contact points after I got 13.5V now and the locks are working on.

@@aaanton11 Thankyou very much for your help sir much appreciated i suspected the same after a bit of research so not too expensive hopefully thanks again mate 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I have a XF 2011 Auto Saloon model with 100000 miles on the clock. Until today it was working perfectly. I left it in my garage for the last 3 days and when I came to drive it this morning nothing worked. It was completely dead and although the drivers door opened as I hadn't locked it, the boot wont. I replaced the battery 18 months ago but cannot check it today because the boot wont open. I called a rescue company who came out to me but they couldn't do anything because they couldn't open the boot. I can't open the bonnet because the car is parked to close to the garage wall. Any suggestions as to what could be the problem and how I can get into the boot?
You can power the electrics up from the eobd plug with the correct connector, surprised the breakdown guy didn't have one, one here amzn.to/2JiEl6yThanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
100 000 miles? One hundred thousand miles really? U sure is 100. 000 miles ? And never had issues before? Wooow can't even believe is even driving still but that's insane u one of very few
My 2012 XF got into a fight with a lamp post during a reverse park yesterday. LED tail light replacement is £300. New bumper plus fitting? I dread to think. Thankfully the bumper is reparable, otherwise I'd have been screwed. Going through the insurance probably isn't a wise idea on a car of that age, as it could be written off. Just pay the monster repair bill myself. But on the subject of electricals. I've had the opposite tail light fail on me within the first week of ownership. Warranty covered that one. Sometimes the touchscreen does weird glitchy things occasionally. Jag's aren't know for having great electronics. Just something us loyal Jag fans have to live with.
Definitely worth looking in the boot for water, as this can network affects everything, hope your repair goes well, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Great tips, especially the use of a hair dryer. Water and electricity don't go together. An Auto electrician could have made a meal of this. Many thanks.

Hi may you help me... My jaguar xf 2015 after I replaced the bettery not open switch or start engine and I receive error passive key error.. But the key can only turn on the light and close it... Some told me need to replace computer is it true??!!

My 2009 jaguar xf 4.2 v8 after showing random faults now its dead, nothing is working, i checked for water leak but negative no water found, any ideas please
I would start by redoing the Earth points in the boot around the battery common for them to look okay but have a poor connection Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
@@aaanton11 after redoing the ground points the car react on the keyfob but only when the key is in the slot, the engine wont start, the local elektromechanic said that he reads many faults on it which he cant delete. And he run out of ideas, could you please help?
My son Jaguar XF did exactly the same and the boot was full of water when we went to check the battery.

What can you do to open boot without power
feed the power from the front under bonnet, ie alternator power wire, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Nice vid what about a 2009-2010 battery just draining erratically
Always check the boot for water, causes loads of faults, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
@@aaanton11 no water. And it’s irregular no fault code showing for it. And only drops to have the voltage to 8 volts. I have checked everything possible. Battery had a load test and passed
@@geordieboy5679 get a ohm meter connect it to batt on + terminal close all turn all off and set it to 10amp and change red lead to 10Amp led start by pulling fuse by fuse when the numbers drop that fuse causes your drain and look what the manual says about that fuse and u can go from there (usually a big loss its a faulty alternator even if charges fine while driving it) my sec most commom its radio or amps either factory or aftermarket
@@omarr8183 as an electrical engineer this was the first this I did there no significant drain the output from The alternator is find and the resistance is well within the jaguar specification I replaced the alternator 2 yrs ago.. What ever the problem was has completely disappeared
my nephew has 13 PLATE XF 2.2 TWIN BATTERIES HAD WATER IN THE BOOT BUT THE BCM IS FITTED ON THE INNER WING ONE BIT OF CORROSION FOUND ON THE PLUG FOR THE PEDESTRIAN SENSORS I THINK BUT ITS THROWING CODES FOR GEARBOX /PEDESTRION SENSOR/BATTERY NOT CHARGING AND SO ON CANT FIND THE FAULT AT 1 STAGE HE HAD 71 ERRORS WE ARE AT A LOSS
Check and clean all the plugs in the damp area of the boot, even the ones which are blanks, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
@@aaanton11 thanks for reply will try it
Are these cars expensive to maintain?
They can be, i hate to say it but tap or German seem more reliable, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Why have you got water in the back ???????
some have suggested the water ingress is from the rear vent seals, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Hi I have a Jaguar XF 09 plate discover today that the boot lid will not open from the remote or from inside the car are any ideas all other electrics seems to be working

Does anyone know how I can fix my jaguar xf display screen it won't turn on its flickering Can anyone help please thanks
Check the boot for water ingress like in the video, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Your screen flickering is the iPod module under the drivers seat! I promise, and the satellite radio module, can be looped out(coaxial cable loop) or new modules, water gets in there and they sit so low moisture corrodes it over time, check it out! Unplug them even, it’s very very common(worked for jag as a tech)
I know this is a common issue for these cars however do you think your method is thee most reliable way of fixing the issue. having the same problem with a 2009 XF
it works fine, but you need to rectify the water leak. Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Can that specific harness be bought somewhere v.s cleaning it?
Vents in boot. You can feel that they are wet and are letting in water. Silicone sealer will solve it.
Not the dreaded boot vents again, I have just done a set on a Ford Focus Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠
I changed my battery not there no power to gear selector won't even rise - car starts - not even the lights work on gear selector- I know this has to be related cause car was fine before I changed battery
There is a known fault with the gear selector, but as yours has just gone try disconnecting the battery and leaving it for 1 hour then reconnect Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
same problem, blinkers just stop working requiring battery to reset, now my starter won't spin the engine, and I have coolant leak under the intake manifold. I can't get over the sheer stupidity of the engineering that went into this car. The blinker problem is, no doubt, a software issue. The coolant issue is all over forums as a common failure in one of the valley hoses as they are called. Why in the world would you run coolant lines under the manifold like this? I'm so done with Jaguar.
Great British Engineering at its finest!! Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Im currently scrolling all Jaguar xf fault videos because i really want to own one but need to be sure they are reliable.
In that case buy a Japanese car 😂, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
@@aaanton11 Im most likely going to get one but the pros really need to outweigh the cons... its the luxury and comfort that my current car doesn't have that i require.
I have a 2017 lexus nothing done to it and the miles are 100,000 all highway miles Oil change,tune up and tires thats after 2 yrs or more Now I got a jaguar xf 5.0 WITHIN A MONTH water pump, a ring for my power steering wheel and now it won't start so it needs a new fuel pump for 1,100 TRUST ME DONT DO IT GO FOR A LEXUS OR SOMETHING IN THAT CLASS!!!
Jaguar is a reminder that higher cost doesn't mean better quality.
Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Nonsense. They are pretty solid car the x250. Especially 2.2. This is water ingress issue.
These are stupid faults for a 6 year old car to have and its certainly a ridiculous fault from a luxury automaker like Jaguar. I can't understand how they get away with this crap
Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Exactly my stupid Audi A8 is has so many electrical faults it’s a 5 year old car. Idiotic German engineering.🤦♂️
That’s a known issue to jaguar mate has been for a few years now
Do you know where the water gets in? Thanks for the great comments 👍🏻🛠
aaanton11 off to top of my head - no but there is a bulletin - il look it up at work and let you know
