How do I open the trunk of a s type 2002 jaguar? Keys are locked inside and the trunk buttonm does not work.

Hello and welcome to justanswer.com

Is the vehicle unlocked?

Ok make sure the valet button is not depressed in the glove box.

If it is push it out then use either the trunk button on the trunk lid or dash.

Was the valet switch pushed in?

You have a green Valet key?

Both the trunk switches will not work?

Ok get inside your vehicle and close all the doors.

Lock it using the lock switch on the handle.

Then unlock it using the lock button on the handle.

Then see if either switch will work.

If not then there are soem other options but they are not easy.

The rear seats fold down but they are most likely not un latched. You can remove the seat cushion and remove the bottom bolts. You may be able to lift up the seat enough to get into the trunk with a coat hanger to retrieve the keys.

Another option would be to remove the license plate and the plate anchors. Then with a coat hanger you can pop the latch.

Another way would be to try to jump the switch but it sounds like there may be a wiring problem in the trunk preventing the latch from working electrically.

Those are the pieces the plate screws into that are in the trunk lid.

Unfortunately we will need to remove that lower dash panel to get behind the switch but I think this will not work.

I have done it but it's not easy.

You can also drill a hole in the trunk lid in the center of the plate to access the latch.

Sure. You did not authorize payment yet so we can continue working on this if you would like.
