08 XK Limited will not start.

Nooo, you said "it is the starter" not "something to do with the starter"

It could still have been the battery when you said it wasn't the battery. Lack of being able to jump start it and the lights still working doesn't mean anything on newer vehicles. I believe post #6 and #7 were right on. Proper diagnosis >>> guessing lol

lol same difference! What I was trying to say was exactly what the issue was. The starter wasn't working. Everyone kept saying the battery and I said it wasn't the battery. And anyone could say it could have been the battery but guess what. It wasn't.. Haha. Point being the starter still wasn't turning over the engine.

LMAO... so if it was a fuse or relay Adam would still be right cause it had to do With the starter?

Anyways. I'm just glad he got it fixed and that it was an issue with the starter not turning over the engine!

Hahahahahahhahaha

Great minds think alike. So is the OP coming to RC with us??

He's definitely got the itch. I'll see if he'll let me install a 2" lift to get least get some clearance for a few of those rocky sections.

Your a bad influence Matt! Lol jk

[Matt]

bad/good... it's a matter of opinion. lol

[Matt]

.... i feel like a drug dealer and the 2" lift is the gateway drug hahahahaha

Yeah its the harness going to the starter. If your car doesn't start, crawl under there and wiggle the wires around. It'll start if that's your problem (wiggling the wires breaks up the corrosion so contact is made again). I've been thinking of putting new terminals on mine before I have the issue....
