Hi all, Just want to follow up with you all and let you know the issue has finally been resolved, $750 bucks later, but well worth it. The shop was able to charge the battery by lifting the car to access a harness that connects to the battery underneath that runs along the passenger side. I had to buy a new battery b/c my old one wouldn't hold a charge. They had to program the battery so that it was calibrated correctly to the car also. There is nothing like having her parked back in the garage,and definitely a proud jag owner. Thank you all for your help.

Hi claws, That video was the very first thing I tried and how I discovered the lock mechanism was broke b/c the trunk did not open when I used the key fob in the lock.

Hi everyone, Going to give a quick update on the status of car. Still have not been able to charge battery or get into the boot.1st I tried to get in thru the rear seat, by taking off all 6 bolts that keep it in place, but I believe the latch on the inside of boot are keeping it in place b/c the seats didn't budge much. 2nd I tried to slow charge thru cigarette lighter for a couple hours but still no charge. 3rd I have called 3 jaguar dealership to find any terminals under hood and all have said that this model doesn't have any in that location. ..I have given in and had the dealership tow it in to the shop. I'll update on how they resolve this situation. .it's been a headache!!

Woke up this morning to find my battery dead when I tried to start the car. I know the car wont open with the remote so I tried the key fob in the lock, and it still wont open when I turn the key. I have come to the conclusion that the mechanism must be broke. Does any one know any other way to jump start this vehicle or how to get the trunk open in this situation? I really don't want to have it towed to the dealership, so please help if possible. Thank you
