Please review the keyless entry instructions. This unit has numerous locking patterns, and perhaps the trunk was programmed to unlock with the door.

TOP' AFTERMARKET CENTRAL LOCK.

The most common reason for a central locking to re-open on the lock button is the central locking has detected a door or the trunk isn't closed correctly. Open each door and the trunk to check there is nothing in the latch to 'trip' the unlock setting. Close the doors and trunk and retest the remote.
If this doesn't fix the issue have the wiring to the central locking check ed for loose connections or damaged wiring.

My car alarm keeps going off on my 1997 jaguar xj6, how can I disable it ?

not easy to just disable because it is part of the engine control system and will not start if the security system module is disconnected or tampered with but the most likeley cause is one of the door latches faulty or wiring around the trunk hinge broken/opencircuit the security system thinks a door or the trunk is open. the clue to help is check the dash warning saying door or trunk open when sat inside with ignition on and all doors etc. closed or even the hood switch

How do I prevent trunk from popping open?

Some trunks have a lever near the trunk latch on the lid to disable electrically opening the trunk. Could be a short causing the trunk open switch to open the trunk. If it doesn't open electrically via a button then you have something bent and the trunk doesn't close properly.

Trunk opens when car door is opened

Can you open trunk with a key? If so, unplug the electrical for the trunk, till you can fix the problem. Then look up the wiring diagram for trunk release, check wiring circuits, something maybe shorted that connects with your door. I haven't looked to see if bcm has a connection with doors as well as trunk release? The bcm was just a thought may not be relevant?

The lever that causes the fuel cover to open is not openiong the little fuel door.

most but not all have a back up cable in trunk not sure if yours does or not
more than likely your cable is broke somewhere if you dont have backup in trunk remove trunk trim panel and see if you can find where cable goes to fuel door and pull on it if that doesnt work cut the cable (you be replacing it anyhow) then peel back so u can get at wire inside cable pull on cable (might need pliers) and door should open
if all this fails pry door open with screwdriver

Trunk wont open. latch does not work from inside

Make sure the drivers door is open and push the button on the drivers door to open trunk. Keep the drivers door open while you open trunk. If you close the drivers door before opening it, it won't open. Well this is what happens to our car. Don't know if it's a fault or the design but this does work for us.
