VerifiedHello and welcome to justanswer.com
There is a trunk lock cylinder above the license plate under the U in JAGUAR on the chrome blade. If the key will not work in the trunk then go under the hood and locate the fuse box on the passenger side. Pop off the lid and hook up the positive side if your jumper to the 80 amp fuse and the ground side of your umper to the shock tower. This will give you enough power to open the trunk with the switch or fob remote.
