The manual to the car is in the trunk.(just my luck) is there a latch somewhere to open the trunk manually
I f it is like the XJR, the cig lighter is electrically switched and will not work. Find the hot point and and ground in the passenger side heelboard. The ground is two wires together scewed to the body an the hot point was a bolt attacted to a large wire and covered with a black rubber boot.
Thank God they put an emergency jumping for the trunk. Hook up jumper or cables to it. It's located right fender side, right in front of fuses black rubber cap on it. Jump hit button and wala!! Trunk open.
Since battery,etc., is mounted in trunk, in trunk floor copmpartment, on right side of trunk, Why not use KEY to open trunk lid.
Just had battery failure on my 95 Jaguar. opened trunk with KEY & replaced with new Batttery.
Why such a question (unless you have no key)??????????????????/
What am I missing here?
Jump the battery and get your power back or get a starter pack that plugs into your cig lighter or your accessory power outlet.Good Luck!
