I explained the boot on my jaguar s type 2001 the light on the dashboard says the boot is open but it is not.i am unable to set the alarm because the dashboard is saying boot is open,when I open the boot half way the light on dashboard will go off then if I close the boot again it comes back on. Has any jaguar owners had this problem and can help me please Thankyou John

The sensor is located and probably built into the boot latch. The sensor is good because the light goes off if you close it slowly. the latch is just worn out with that particular part. Replace the latch. It is not hard to replace if you have a few hand tools.

The switch for the boot open light is on the boot just to the right of center with a rubber cover on it the trim on the bottom of the trunk openingis where it hits to turn it off if trim is missing or broken the light will not go off hope this is of some help

put key in ignition turn it on off for 4 times and u hear a chime and press any button

First, go around the car and tighten all the locking mechanisms.
A loose one will report 'door ajar'
This would explain 1 and 2.
3 sounds like the ride level sensor under the rear suspension.
Have you run over anything interesting lately?

You will need to locate IP5 pin 16 on the General Electronic Control Module
that sits RH side behind your instrument panel (UK Car) .
IP5 is the large brown 23 way connector that goes into the module.
Take this pin to ground then your boot will pop open.

The DSC light stands for Dynamic Skid Control or in lawmen's terms Traction Control. If the light stays on you have a problem with this system. You will need to have it diagnosed by someone who has the tools and expertise to find the problem. More than likely you are going to have to take it to a Jaguar dealer.

yes.... my friend has a jag s type and he said the horn sounds when he locks the doors

Mine did the same. The release as you know is electric on the boot rear button - and not mechanical as on other cars. The switch is telling the lock that you want it open still, so it will not latch. Try lightly pushing the button again a couple of times, and it may click off again, and Bob's your Uncle!!! I spent 10 minutes closing the boot lid with varying degrees of slamming before I discovered this remedy. Good Luck!

jaguar alarm goes off and the only way to stop it is to put the key in the ignition

I have a 02 x type jag. the dash is telling me the boot is open even though its not, because of this this the central locking or alarm wont work and the interior light is on permanently ??
