Wondering if someone has advice about how to solve this problem

I have a 1995 xj6 with a dead battery. The battery is in the trunk so I am unable to open the trunk from the console due to the dead battery.

The next logical step is to use the key to manual open the trunk. When I do this it still does not open.

Any ideas on how I can open the trunk manually.

We have already used a Black & Decker Smart Battery to put juice in the system but their is a conflict between the battery and the jag.

We have already contacted the local dealership but it is too old for anyone to have an answer.

Any other ideas or advice would be appreciated.

i locked my dads xj8 keys in the trunk once and the battery was dissconnected so i had to hook up a battery charger to the high voltage side of the altinator and a good ground and i was able to pop the trunk from the inside, you may be able to open it this way on the xj6 just be carefull

go to the hood, then you'll see a power point to hook a charger or jumper battery that will light the interior up for the trunk and the lock motor will open up.c

When stepping on the breaks the engine accelerate very fast causing the car to move forward even when you are pressing on the breaks with all your strength and weight.

Reply#2 chelsea26 mentions a power point under the hood to hook a charger or a jumper battery to on the XJ6, what does she mean by a "power point" and where is it located? Please, anyone, reply as soon as possible. If knology.com does not work try .net.

Thanks

Where is the location of the Battery on a 2007 Jaguar XKR.

on my xj6 there is a little indiscreet black box. in it there is a point from which you can attach you positive cable and with a good ground you can jump start the car
