Want this question answered?
Does it not have a key lock on the trunk lid.
use the key
call a lock smith
You'll find that the key goes into a keyhole hidden in the Chrome "XK8" badge on the rear panel. Between the k and the 8 if I recall.
Use your key to turn the lock on the rear of the vehicle.
open trunk. if battery is dead use the key blade. battery is located in the right rear quarter panel . under trunk padding
After I tried the above without success, I called the dealer. I have a 2002 XK8. There is a hole for the key between the X and the K just above the rear bumper. The battery is to the right of the spare.
1 use your jaguar key to manually open the trunk 2 use a battery charger/engine starter machine to give power to your battery3 jumpstart the vehicle4 switch the battery
On the panel behind the driver's seat there is a key hole. You put your key in it and turn it and it will pop the trunk open.
a key...Charge your battery
There are 2 buttons on the driver side door sill. The front one is for the front trunk and the back one is for the rear trunk. As long as your battery is not dead, it will open.
If you own a Jaguar with the battery in the trunk and it is normally opened by a button or switch inside the car but the battery is dead...well open the hood, pull another car or just a battery up to it. With a jumper cable hook the negitive battery terminal from the battery to a solid metal part of the engine assembly...then with a smaller jumper wire hooked to positive battery terminal hook the other end to the large post coming out of the alternator...now you might want to hook up the small jumper wire to the large post coming out of the rear of the alternator first... because if you touch it to any part that's metal it will ark.....by doing this you will send power into the electrial system and you can now use the switch to open the trunk....
