08 XK Limited Starting Problem

Ok, here is my problem. Last weekend did a tune up on a 08 XK Limited. It ran beautiful after replacing the upper plugs. After a few days of driving it and enjoy how she ran, I parked it at home and the next day went out to start it and it would not start.
What I get when I turn on the key: I get a small click. My friend listened to where the click was coming from. It was coming from the back fuse back. We opened up the fuse box and start to check everything. When we heard the click again, it was coming from the group of 3 relays. Everything lights up on the dash. Windows go up and down, Radio and AC still work.
I also checked the battery and it was 12.5 volts. Still good, but it will not start. We also try to jump start it to satisfied ourselves and still nothing.
Anyone had this problem or heard of this kind of problem on a 08 XK.. Thanks for your help. Steve….
 

Ok all, here goes… My friend Matt came over this morning and some of you may know him.. A very knowable guy also with a XK. He did a few checks on the battery and relays. Seems like everything there was ok.. Then he said, lets jack up the XK and he got under the XK and shook the Starter Wire Harness and BINGO the XK started… Mat is a Life Saver. I have been so down since Thursday trying to figure out what was wrong. Mat came over and in 10, well maybe 15 minutes had it running again.. Then we drove the XK to the jeep dealer, to have them install a New Starter Wiring Harness tomorrow. THANKS TO MAT, I was back on the road. Steve….
