2004 Jaguar XJ - Page 9 Questions & Answers
Jaguar S-type goes totally dead, no lights, horn, nothing, but comes back to life in seconds or days later. A key relay maybe?
Probably not a relay as some circuits will be hard-wired into the battery circuit.
I once encountered a car behaving just like yours and a very disenchanted owner. Over a period of a couple of months it had been attended by a couple of breakdown services and had been several times to various repairers.
The fault turned out to be a bad connection where the battery terminal had been crimped to the battery cable. It appeared normal but inside, when I cut it open, the wire strands were black and scorched resulting effectively in a random disconnection of the battery. When the car had started it behaved normally but getting it started was another matter entirely.

Hello John, your owners manual should provide the correct procedure for jump starting your vehicle. Check the "In case of emergencies" section.
