Maybe because of my recent experience w/my SRT I always think of the leaks in the back of the car. I had a lot of trouble starting my car and it ended up because of water getting into the trunk area and shorting out the central locking module. It is also hooked up to the alarm system and if it is damaged, it may prevent the car from starting. I would check any XF for leaks in the rear hatch area anyway. From my short time on this forum, it seems like water leaks there are a common problem. Especially w/the SRT under the wing. It wouldn't take long to check out and like I said, I would check for water leaks on ANY XF regardless if it is a NA or not. Good luck!

After driving around awhile I went home, same issue will not start unless hooked up to battery charger/starting unit. I figured bad battery and bought a new battery...Installed the new battery same issue, will not start unless hooked up to a charge/starting unit.
I saw the discussion about the solder joints on the RCM. Why would it start only when hooked up to a charging/starter unit even with a new battery.
Any advice?
