You have listed the vehicle is a 1987 Jaguar XJ6. The trunk is not electronic and only unlocks with the key as well as both the gas doors. Any issues here then it is your key or the actual trunk latch. If you do have a 1988 model year then the trunk lock has 3 positions. locked all the time, unlocked all the time or the vertical position locks and unlocks with the vehicles drivers door lock. If the trunk button (paddle) is loose and moves but nothing happens then the inside rod has come loose and you will have to manually operate the latch by removing the license plate and taking a long screw driver through the lower plastic bungs. The fuel flap is a separate unite and does have a manual release but you need to open the trunk to get to it. If the fuel flap stays locked all the time then the actually filler neck module will need replacing.If you have a 1997 which has the electronic release button to open the trunk (95-2003) Then you will need to firstly lock all door and unlock the drivers door 2 times. Check the fuel flap is now released, if not then the fuel flap actuator located on the filler neck inside the trunk is bad. If the trunk does not open with the remote, inside car switch and trunk mounted switch then the passenger side trunk harness is broken. Open the trunk with the key and on the right(passenger) hinge there is a grey plastic cover, remove that cover and carefully peel back the wiring harness cover and you will find 1 or more broken wires. Once the wires are repaired then I recommend you zip tie them in place and retest the trunk release button.If this does not answer any of your questions please feel free to email [email protected]
Disconnect the battery, remove the lower engine plastic cover, remove the drive belt by rotating the auto tensioner toward the front to release tension and pull the belt out of the way, remove the gray rubber cap on the alternator then the 10mm nut and the wire, disconnect the electrical connector on the back of the alternator and remove the two mounting bolts on the alternator it can then be pulled out.
Look inside the trunk you will find the bolts under some groomets, get under rear fenders and remove the plasitc covers and remove the bolts for the sides and you will remove it.
Under the panel between the back window and the trunk lid opening, on the outer edges of the trunk opening.
2 small knobs that look like little cigarette lighters.
