What you describe may consist of more than one fault. Despite having had a battery check, my suspicions would lead me to beg, borrow or buy another new battery before going any further. XKs are incredibly voltage sensitive and even a battery which is easily capable of starting the car may generate false warning lights and other issues. Mike.

Fully agree with Mike, get a fully charged battery fitted first and then reset the window memory. If you still get the open door message then that would point to a failing “door ajar switch” situated in the door lock mechanism.
