How can I get into the trunk of 98 Jaguar XK8 battery is dead previous owner rekeyed ignition but not trunk glove door I tried jump starting under hood at the little knob next to the fuse box?
It sounds like you only have a "valet key" My valet key is green. The main key is black. The valet key will not open the trunk or the glovebox. If you do not have a main key you should be able to get one from a dealer using the VIN #
How do you open the trunk of a 1996 Jaguar XJ6 when you've locked the keys inside the trunk and have only the valet key?
I thought that car had a remote trunk switch in the glove box? well anyways you can remove the back seat, or call a locksmith, or have a new master key made using the vin.
Why would only your trunk release button on your key remote stop working?
hi there. i have myself an xk8, 4l -97 model. from my experience if the Valet mode is activated is possible that the button wont work , to prevent the valet to open the trunk. to over run the valet mode, use the ignition key to open the trunk. regards cr4zy_jaguar
Does the Saturn valet key only open doors?
The Saturn valet key will open the drivers door and start the car. It will not open the glove box or the trunk.
What does valet mode mean?
Pressing valet mode locks the glovebox and trunk so that only your own 'proper' key can open them. The valet key cannot open those; it can only operate the engine and the doorlocks. Actually, you have to manually lock the glove box, but other than that the answer is correct. Just make sure you give the valet the green key, not the black key.

Make sure you have the correct key there are two usually the one with the green plastic fob is the valet key and the Black fob is the normal key.

Due to a lack of use you will often find the the master key will fail to open the trunk.

Read through the descriptions below and see if it helps answer your particular problem. The Valet key will not open the trunk. The XJ6 X300 series the trunk lock switch is located left of the steering wheel on the instrument panel dash. On the XJ6 (1988-90) no internal trunk switch.

You should note the if you have not used the master key to access your trunk much, you may find it very stiff. This is very common. If this is the case do be very careful not to over force the key. Try the alternative method below shown in the website. The "trunk release switch" is located on the left side of the steering wheel on the instrument panel dash .

If you look carefully after you get the trunk/boot open again you will see where the harness snakes under the RHS hinge. There is an alternative method that is illustrated at the following web site that gives full instructions on how to open the trunk when all else fails by removing the license plate.
You only have the valet key how do you open your trunk you could just hit the trunk release button but after hitting the valet button it wont open please help this is for a 1998 xj8 l series?
The purpose of the "Valet Key" is to allow a parking attendant or any other person to operate the car, but not be able to access the trunk where presumably you would store your valuables. The tip of the Valet key is different from the Master Key. It is part of the security systems design. You can use the Valet key to have another master key cut. But as you are probably aware, most locksmiths lack the special machine or key blanks to help you. Jag dealers will charge you a fortune, check the internet I had mine cut by a shop in Australia and had them delivered in the US in 3 days for under $35
