Euro specs. The trunk never opened with the key, only the button by steering wheel. I think the valet mode is on, because I can no longer open the truck. Help?
SOURCE: 1995 jaguar xj6 dead battery and can't open trunk. please help,
you will need to use a jump box to put 12 volts to the engine compartment fuse box .Then you can
open trunk with key bob or button in car.

I have seen this before, each time i have seen it i have to reprogram the valet key. This needs to be dont at the dealership, make sure you bring the master key otherwise they cant program the valet key.

latch to open boot. good luck

SOURCE: I can nit open my trunk on my 1996 jAGUAR XJ6.
ok, if the key won't open this then the lock is jammed and if you don't want to damage anything, I know I wouldn't, I would take it to a mechanic. The jammed may have been what killed your battery if the valet trunk open was not working it may have been shorted out. There is a way to jump vehicles with the battery in the trunk like that but I am not familiar with it and if the buttin doesn't work to release the trunk it would do you no good anyway. most likely you are looking at replacing teh truck locking mechanism.
SOURCE: cant get my 99 xj8 out of valet mode, and my trunk will not open.
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.
