When changing batterys to fobs some times you have to reprogramme them to the car , go on youtube and ask the same question as a few cars need to reset different ways

you need new security locking module fitted to your car and matching remotes and have to be programmed to your car by suitable jag dignostic equipment

"Vapor lock" is a condition that occurs when fuel becomes heated to the point of evaporation. If your vehicle is truly vapor locking, it means that something hot is coming in contact with your fuel line somewhere, overheating the gasoline to the point of it vaporizing. This is HIGHLY UNLIKELY. If you truly do have a vapor lock condition, find out where the fuel is becoming heated and fix that condition.
On a 1997 Jaguar XK8, it is FAR more likely that you have a bad fuel pressure regulator or a bad ICU.

Inside the door is a door switch that is called the tamper switch or door ajar switch, each door has one, it may be defective, it is the Ford designed switch and they have had problems. To confirm the next time the system goes off, unlock and lock the passenger door if it has a lock, my new car doesn't and I know many makes don't have any passenger side door lock cylinder. If doing that shuts of the security system the switch is surely defective or the wiring to it is damaged.

it should be the door selenoid causing the problem it has the linkage attached to it and would give you the problems you discribe

This is the Theft Control Modual ITSELF (IN VEHICLE) Dealer only Check as they Hold the Info as Propritary or THERE TRADE MARKED Procedure from 5-15 years

CC and CE the same

if you mean your remote locking system, most of the time its just the case of changing the cells in your remote. otherwise the remote is not prone to any other problems unless its been soacked in water.

Change the battery in your remote--if this does not work, I suspect that the sensor is defective.
