Question about 1997 Jaguar XJ6

I need to jump my battery the trunk wont open for me to access it

My battery is dead and my trunk will not open with the key. Is there a way to jump the car through the engine? I've read that some cars that have batteries in the luggage compartment have a jump wire? Please someone help me!

Check under the hood for a red cap over a stud looking rod, that would be your battery positive jumping rod, then just ground it to a suitable clean grounding spot away from any fans, belts or pully's

Trying to open trunk with no power

Use jumper cables from another car-put the positive jumper cable on the post on the starter where the battery cable connects, then the negative jumper cable to a ground on the frame of your car. Turn on the car you are jumping with and let it run about 10 minutes. It might charge up your battery in the trunk enough to open the trunk.

You do not need to access the battery to jump start your 7 Series. There is a metal terminal under the hood for jump starting your car or jumping another car. It is located near the passenger at the rear and has a red cap with a PLUS symbol on it. Remove the red cap and attach the postive side of the cable. Attach the negative side to the large nut just to the left.

Also, to open your trunk manually insert the metal key in the key hole next to the button that you push above your license plate.

98 SL500 dead battery. Can't open trunk to get to

Hi Your S class has two batteries. The smaller one is located in the engine bay, and the bigger one in the boot (trunk). No need to access any of them, simply open the door with key, insert key to start engine, you will notice that not all ignition lights will come on, but the engine WILL start, and the batteries will be recharged after a short while.
