I have the same problem on my 2002 x-type. My trunk is locked shut and won't open. I took it to the dealership and they want to drill a hole in the and pull the trunk release. 370 on labour, 150 on body shop + paint job. this is UN-BELIEVABLE!! Some genius engineering!
luckily I am in no rush as my trunk was empty when it got locked. But there has to be a better way.
press the little button with the Jag face on the trunk lid..
To open the trunk of a 2002 Jaguar XK8 with a dead battery, you can use the manual key. Locate the keyhole on the trunk lid, usually hidden under a small cover or trim piece. Insert the key and turn it to unlock the trunk. If the keyhole is not accessible or the trunk remains locked, you may need to access the trunk from the back seat by folding down the rear seats, if applicable.
there is open trunk switch in the glove compartment
can you manually open front trunk on a 2002 boxster?
Open the trunk with the ignition key. There is a small opening in the upper right hand side of the trunk lid.
It means that the car beieves that the boot/trunk is open. Either the switch is broken or the latch hasn't closed properly.
use the key
unlock it with the key below key hole - there is a lever - push it up - this will open up the trunk
pry it open with a crowbar
To open the trunk of a 1985 Jaguar, you typically use the trunk release lever located inside the vehicle, usually found on the driver's side near the door or on the dashboard. Alternatively, you can use the key to unlock the trunk directly. If the car is equipped with a remote key fob, you may also be able to open the trunk electronically. Always ensure the vehicle is unlocked before attempting to open the trunk.
The words "Boot Open" means the trunk lid is open. Cheers, Jeff
