The battery on my 97 XK8 convertible went dead over the winter. After recharging, I noticed: 1 no power to the radio 2) a/c would rather blow hot than cool (no cold) 3) power trunk not working (Could be more that I haven't noticed). Don't have an owners repair manual to diagnose. Figure the car needs to reset its computer? Gary from Ontario, Canada.
Make sure you hsve a fully cheged battery to hand. First, disconnect original battery for at leazt 30 mins. Then reconnect new battery. Having no battery connected for 30 mins is critical

The key hole is located in the middle of the rear XK8 badge on the right rear.

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.

The 1994 xj6 sedan. The trunk should be opened by the key unless you have green keys only (valet keys).
If this is the case then open the hood and on the firewall there is a black plastic square box with a + sign on it, lift up the plastic cover, connect your jumper/charger on a low boost and this will give you enough power to push your remote trunk release switch.
