Try going through the set up of your key fobs like you replaced them and see if that works.

SOURCE: How do I program S Type Jaguar key fob Year 2000 Jag ?

Seperate key fobs only can be programmed in the following way.

Turn ignition on/off 8 x times (allow all functions to stabilise) after the 9th on - press a button on both remote fobs. then turn ign. off. use good remote to lock and then try new remote to unlock/lock. sometimes it works first time - sometimes you have to repeat actions. good luck.

SOURCE: reprogramming jaguar x type key fob

Your key FOB is easily programmed by yourself without the need of computer, here is how: Push and hold the trip computer button on the left stalk, while holding the button turn the ignition ON and OFF several times untill you hear a confirmation tone from the glovebox area, when the tone is heard, release the button and remove the key from the ignition, immediately after push any button on the Key FOB and you'll hear another tone that confirms the programming.

Batteries full turn the key on nothing at the key switch does the key fob need to be working with the battery inside of it

It's possible that the key fob battery needs to be working in order for the key switch to function properly, especially if your vehicle has an electronic security system. Some key fobs are designed to work in conjunction with the vehicle's immobilizer system, which prevents the engine from starting without the correct key fob being present. If the key fob battery is dead, it may prevent the immobilizer system from recognizing the key and allow the engine to start.

However, there may be other reasons why the key switch is not working, such as a faulty ignition switch, a blown fuse, or a dead starter motor. If you have already confirmed that the battery is fully charged, you may need to have your vehicle inspected by a qualified mechanic to diagnose and repair the problem.

I replaced battery for remote key fob with the new battery for Civic EX 2002 but there is no light (LED) and it's not working at all, please guide.

It's possible the key fob itself was bad and not the battery. Do you have another key fob. It may need to be relearned.
