Default 1999 XJ8 VDP Keyless Remote not working

Car is going into programming mode. Keyless Remotes do send signal, checked both remotes and all buttons are clean and working. After in Programming Mode/ after chirp then Pushing Buttons on Remotes does not work, Car does not seem to receive signal, no light on shifter. Then goes out of program mode (2 chirps). Is there a fuse for this? Location? Or where is 'receiver' for this or is it in security module. Any help appreciated.

Look at your rear windscreen, at the top in the centre, there are what looks like two short heater elements that say HIGH SECURITY ANTENNA.
There is a co axial cable that runs from the screen to the security module under the fuse box in the boot.
Hopefully this is of some use .

Thanks Andrew Let me know appears the 'cable connection' to the Security screen was 'severed', should the window screen be connected to the cable ?
Appears Cable portion may have broken off.

Yes should be connected, similar to the connections for the heating elements.

Plastic connector is pressing against window but not solid connection, can lift off. Seems like should be directly attached
If so can this be soldered or how attached? Any guidance appreciated
Thanks
