Hi, I have the same issue. (Boot lid not closing with the button on the lid. Boot pops open with key fob but not lifting) Does anyone have any suggestions please? Do I need a new motor? Thanks in advance. 

p.s. tried recalibration but didn't work! Also, have had recent issues with the lid not opening fully on hills prior to it packing up all together. Any help gratefully appreciated!

My boot pops, but doesn't fully open and I have to close is mannually.

Should I replace the fuse or does the motor need replacing?

Hi Hugo, are you certain you have a "power lift" boot lid? Many jaguar's have a fob button to pop open the boot, but it is still a manual lift open and push closed.

Yes, it's a power lift boot and opens automatically. I have to close it manually.

There is just a possibility that you have programmed the boot lid to not open properly/ fully: try opening the boot to its full height and pressing and holding for 10 seconds the boot close button: if it has been programmed to open to any other point on the cycle, this should reset it.

 



 
LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT OPENINGHEIGHT
It is possible to set the maximum height to which the luggage compartment lid will open. This is useful in parking areas with very low roofs or just for ease of use.
 
  • Open the luggage compartment lid to the position which you want to set as the maximum height.
  • Press and hold (for 10 seconds) the luggage compartment close button.
  • Close the luggage compartment, then open again to check that it opens to the programmed height.
    The maximum opening height is now set.
    To reset the maximum opening height to full, repeat the process, but fully open the luggage compartment lid before pressing and holding the button.
