It is located under the panel in front of windscreen

Try going through the set up of your key fobs like you replaced them and see if that works.

in jaguar showroom

i am sure this vehicle has a key slot and its behind the emblem ,seem to remember this question before and i wasnt sure but they posted a answer and their was a key hole behind the jaguar chrome strip thats across the boot lid ,but this may have been a different year ?? but as the battery is in the boot it must have access if it goes flat

chances are the fob is bad but besure the lock buttons on the car are in working order if so get knew fob and reprogram it

2 batteries, + side down.

This is the Theft Control Modual ITSELF (IN VEHICLE) Dealer only Check as they Hold the Info as Propritary or THERE TRADE MARKED Procedure from 5-15 years

check your lock relays located in the interior fuse panel. Sometimes the actual connections to the fuse block can come lose and the relays wont work properly. My 2000 silverado did the same thing till i bent the pins on the relay for a tighter fit.
hope this helps

The switchblade key would need to be compatable with your ignition switch barrel. Only normally available from jag dealers who check the Jag owners register before supplying you a replacement.
The older type seperate fobs could be programmed by switching the ignition on and off 8 times (allowing all functions to settle) and on the 9th switch on - press a button on each fob and then switch off. to test use a good fob to lock the car then try the reprogammed fob to unlock/lock. Sometimes this works first time - sometimes needs a couple of tries.
