You might need a lube job or you may need to see if noise is coming from another place such as your engine water pump, brakes, power steering. Look for leaks.
SOURCE: I can nit open my trunk on my 1996 jAGUAR XJ6.
ok, if the key won't open this then the lock is jammed and if you don't want to damage anything, I know I wouldn't, I would take it to a mechanic. The jammed may have been what killed your battery if the valet trunk open was not working it may have been shorted out. There is a way to jump vehicles with the battery in the trunk like that but I am not familiar with it and if the buttin doesn't work to release the trunk it would do you no good anyway. most likely you are looking at replacing teh truck locking mechanism.
SOURCE: cant get my 99 xj8 out of valet mode, and my trunk will not open.
There are Valet keys (often with a green knob) that will
only unlock
the front doors and the ignition but not the
glove box nor
boot/trunk.
When either the front door locks or the console
button is
pressed, all the doors should lock. Likewise, when either
front
door is unlocked, all the doors fuel filler lid and if
selected, the
boot will also unlock.
Boot lock has three positions. Unlocked
to the left,
automatic with the doors in the center, always locked to
the
right. Simply remove the key in what ever position you desire.
The
locks can get confused and not work correctly. Simply
sit in the
car and manually lock all the doors. That will
usually get the
locking module sane again.
SOURCE: I have a 1998 Jaguare xj8, the battery is dead and
If the locking mechanism fails or no power is available, it is possible
to open the boot using a long thin screwdriver through the lower right
licence plate mounting hole.
Follow the linkage rod from the lock mechanism itself going left,
towards the centre, to where it joins the catch mechanism and push here.
It can help to shine a light through the left side licence plate hole,
and also to get a second screwdriver in here to take a little of the
tension off the catch itself, though not too much or it will spring back
into place.
