Hi all,

I've got a 2004 XF that won't start. A month or so ago, there were three instances of non-starts that resolved them selves after turning the key 3-4 times. The other day, however, the car refused to start (and continues to not start). This behavior led me to believe that it might be the Mystery-No-Start issue with the fuel pump relay, but I can hear the pump turn on (and I've tried replacing the relay to no avail).

My dashboard lights up when I turn the key, but there's not attempt from the engine to turn over. Instead, I get 1 click from the engine.

I took my battery into Autozone to get tested, and it was dead. After installing the replacement battery, the no-start issue continues.

Is this an issue with the starter, or something else I haven't considered?

Assuming it is an issue with the starter, how to I replace it? Thankfully, my car is in my driveway instead of in a random parking lot somewhere.

Any thoughts?

Thank you very much
