Use jumper cables to power the fuse box or whatever hot point you can find in the engine compartment. The big terminal on the starter solenoid or the back of the alternator are both hot points. Connect the negative jumper to the engine or a bare metal spot on the chassis. Be careful to only touch the hot terminals with the positive jumper, and just touch the terminal long enough to open the boot.

How do you acces trunk of jaguar s type to jump start battery if the battery is dead and won't allow entrance to trunk

Use your ignition key in the keyhole under the lip of the boot lid by the number plate or hidden under the boot chrome trim, all these cars have an overide to the electric boot opener its either a key at the boot or sometimes a cable pull inside the cabin or by the rear seat.
good luck - hopes this helps.

Alarm wont work and car is completely death no lights no latches working ,, and manual is lock in trunk and cant open it

Your battery is dead and it is also in the trunk. The truck is electrically opened. Go to the local auto part store or walmart and buy a charger that plugs into the cigarette lighter. Once the battery charges a little, you can pop the trunk, get the manual, replace the battery, etc.
