2000 s-type the button in the car and on the trunk lid doesn't work to release the latch only can open with key ,checked fuses and changed latch on lid and still nothing....any one have the same problem that they fixed it ??

 

Is the valet button pushed in the glove box?

 

That was my guess in the other thread. (now gone)

 

ill try it tomorrow and let you guys know if that works ill fill so stupid if that is the problem LOL i never use the valet button but do have things in the box so it is a possibly it got pushed when opening and closing the door

 

Believe it or not, it tends to be the problem.

 

it works now that was the problem...NICE, i have been living with that problem for almost a year now and it was the simplest fix i have done on any car ever local jag dealer wanted $300 to fix the problem so glad i held out

 

Guys I might have the same problem. And I can't seem to find the valet button. Checked all over trunk

 

The valet button is in the glove box inside the car.

 

Maybe I am just dumb, but I'm looking in the glovebox and I don't see it. Jaguar xj6 vanden plas

 

Hi camw510
I downloaded all 9 sections of the 2002 S-Type Owners Manual from weblink to Topix website for Jaguar. I combined all the sections into 1 large PDF file.

Here is the weblink to the sticky thread (Handbook download) in S-Type forum:

https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/s...ownload-10578/

Go to post# 31 titled 2002 S_Type Owners Manual - All 208 pages in 1 PDF file
That posting has the weblink to the PDF in my mediafire account.

2002 Owner Manual was the closest manual with the illustrations that I could find to your 2000 S-Type.

Look at page 2-8 for the valet button's information & illustration showing it in the glove compartment.

There is also another thread titled "jag trunk button not working" in the S-Type forum section:

https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/s...working-19619/

go down to post# 2 - the valet button in the glove compartment was stopping access to the trunk (boot) via the trunk button.

I had the same problem.
I had a phone charger cable inside the door that would push the valet button in when I closed the door.
2001 S Type v-6, automatic, 88,000 miles, runs like new, knock on wood.

 

Anything between the valet switch and the glove compartment door will push the valet button in.

 

Thanks Joycesjag this problem is solved for me

 

My 06 S Type does have a key option to the far left by the lic plate light granted the motor actuator is making an odd noise.

 

Well, that's cryptic.........

 

I assume you mean doesn't?
