2003 S TYPE JAGUAR. DON'T DRIVE OFTEN BATTERY
You must charge the battery or you can use jumper cables from another battery to your battery to activate the electric trunk release, just be sure you hook up the jumper cables correctly ( cable to + on the battery and black to _ terminal of battery)and wear safety glasses when hooking up cables this should release the trunk. Also as a precaution always hook up + or red jumper cables wires first to prevent a arcing spark which is not terribly dangerous but this order in which to connect jumper cables is recommended.

Jaguar s-type restricted performance displayed
Its most likely the coils and spark plugs, sometimes caused by oil leaking from the valve cover gasket. The coils deteriorate over time from engine heat and need to be replaced at 90-100k
Local garages don't have the Jaguar diagnostics terminal and are unable to do more than find basic error codes with a reader. Its important to get this fixed because it's causing damage to your caltalytic converters. They are expensive.

DRIVER AND PASSENGER WINDOWS INOP
Look at your owner's manual and locate the fuses that control these. If it still does not work...remove door panel to locate motor...locate small hole on the end of the motor and inject lubricant. Those motors always get stuck and need lubrication

What is the fuse number for a 2003 s type jaguar airbag
The airbag system does not depend on a fuse, the power come directly off the ECM, the battery MUST be disconnected when working on the airbag system. The only fuse involved in part of this system is fuse #5 in the passenger compartment fuse box. It should be a 10 AMP mini fuse, red in color and that just protects the occupancy sensor and the passenger airbag de-activation lamp.

My 02 VW 1.8T immoblizer light came on. Neither key will work. Is there anything I should try before I tow it to the dealership?
Try disconnecting both battery terminals and touching them together. This will drain any power remaining in the system and can sometimes help reset any crashed ECUs. Reconnect both terminals and attempt a restart. Also, make absolutely sure that you have no other car keys or RFID tags on your keyring. These can interfere with your vehicle's immobilizer system and render it useless.
If you have tried this and if it doesn't resolve the issue then you may have an issue with the ignition switch pickup coil which reads the RFID signals in your keys.

Why is battery light still on after replacing alternator
charge lights work from a current flow either from the battery to the alternator or from the alternator to the battery. the opposing current flows will put the light out when each unit has the same voltage . So if the light is still on after the alternator has been replaced there are 2 checks to do . Check that the alternator is in fact charging correctly (dc voltage as well as 14 volts and next check is to see if the battery is any good and that the terminals are clean and tight. Best have it checked out at an accredited auto electrical shop.
