Jaguar 2003 x-type. Trunk will not open with key. THERE IS NOT APLACE TO MANUALLY USE KEY FOR OPENING TRUNK.

use your ignition key to open the trunk, the key hole is hidden just under the opening button and to the right side

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.

try removing rear seats to obtain access

There should be a little jaguar insignia in the middle of the trunk lid . If the doors are unlocked just push it in it is a push button latch.

Open the trunk manually using the key. the key hole is to the right looking under and up by the registration plate lights.
good luck.

Look under the "U" in "Jaguar" on the chrome strip on the trunk. You'll find a key slot where you can insert your ignition key. You may have to remove the license tag frame (if you have one) to get the key into the slot.

I had the same problem when my alternator drained my battery.Underneath where the licence plate light is mounted there is a key hole on the right hand side.Any black headed key will open the trunk.

There is jaguar black round insignia in the middle of the chrome trunk lid. unlock the doors and push it
