Can you hear the motor trying to pop open the trunk? Does it open using the remote, the green Jag button in the middle of the rear chrome on the trunk deck lid or using the button near the steering wheel? Does the trunk open with the key? Does it open when you use the key in the drivers door after pushing the unlock button three times? If the answer is NO to all these questions than the motor to the trunk eject needs to be replaced or if you had it in the bodyshop, more than likely they did not reconnect the wires correctly. My bodyshop recently didn't wire up the trunk motor correctly and I had the same problem. I couldn't use my remote to pop open the trunk, the secret green Jag button that many Jag owners don't know about didn't work when I pushed it and the button near the steering wheel didn't work either. My key didn't work either so it was quite a time trying to get my Golf clubs out of my trunk. After taking it in to a dealership they were able to correct the problem and now my trunk works fine. Beware of bodyshops, they very seldom know how to work on Jaguars. You can find used motors for your trunk at Jaguar Heaven in California. I have used a few of their parts NEW and USED and they work fine and the service is exceptional if you talk to Dan. Good Luck! Dave (Las Vegas)
