Cant get my 99 xj8 out of valet mode, and my black key will not open the trunk. All four door lock while the keys are in the ignition with the car running when i push the lock button by the radio. But i do not know how to get the doors to lock when im getting out of my car. can anyone help?
Very EASY!!! Lock car with the key. Walk away for a couple minutes. UNLOCK CAR WITH KEY. TRUNK WILL OPEN. Stop hitting valet button. Nothing in the owners manual will tell you this!! Trust me.
There are Valet keys (often with a green knob) that will
only unlock
the front doors and the ignition but not the
glove box nor
boot/trunk.
When either the front door locks or the console
button is
pressed, all the doors should lock. Likewise, when either
front
door is unlocked, all the doors fuel filler lid and if
selected, the
boot will also unlock.
Boot lock has three positions. Unlocked
to the left,
automatic with the doors in the center, always locked to
the
right. Simply remove the key in what ever position you desire.
The
locks can get confused and not work correctly. Simply
sit in the
car and manually lock all the doors. That will
usually get the
locking module sane again.
