I'm back in the Twin Cities for 2-3 months to get my house in order, then I'm planning to move permanantly out to Washington DC to work - need to rent out or sell the house by then!

Thanks for the advice and welcome, GDC and mdaniels! Yes, I rolled back into beautiful Minny monday morning and the first thing I did before unloading my luggage was open the garage door and make sure my little XF was doing ok in the garage! Just the way I left it except for some dust a good washing won't cure, heheh.

I made some rookie mistakes - I left the battery on the car and it died sometime in the last 12 months. Checked the voltage and it is around 11.8 V. I tried jump starting and the car does nothing but make a clicking noise and the interior lights blink as I try to start the car - I have a feeling the PCM doesn't like having a dead battery in the loop. I'll have to siphon out my old gas and put in a fresh charge.

Thanks for the fuse 11 trick!! I will use it.
