Hi,

New to the forum, i tried to search for my problem but didn't find an answer. I just got a 1993 XJR model. There was no manual and there is only one set of keys - actual key and a fob. Now i was sure the fob is the keyless entry but after replacing the battery when i click the fob the car makes fast to high pitched noise - i understand that this fob is only a remote alarm thing. The question is - is there a keyless entry? How do i open other that drivers door from outside? At the moment i have to open the door with the key and then crawl back to manually unhook the doors - any help?

 

Welcome to the forum Paul,

I've moved your question from General Tech Help to XJ40 forum. Members here with the same model will be able to help.

Yes it has keyless entry, you just have to program the remote, see FAQ:

good luck

Thanks Larry,

I did program it with the instructions - i was able to successful open the trunk with the fob but no luck with the doors. Not sure what i'm doing wrong - will try ask around for a mechanic.

Also - if the fob doesn't work - isn't there another way to lock/unlock all the doors from inside? And finally - is there a digital version of the manual for this car somewhere i can get?


Thank you!

 

On the dash, between the heater controls and the radio there's a row of switches, one of which on the left is the door lock "panic button". Hit that switch and all the doors will lock.

There is a version of the Haynes manual online, but depending on what part of the car you want to access, (electrical section for instance) there are .pdf's in the archive, e.g.:

and

also have a good look through this stuff -

Good luck -

Have another go with the remote, it will work but it takes a few tries to get it maybe??

Larry,

I think the Captain Jaguar website has been down for a couple of years now but if that link doesn't work, a version of the Haynes manual can be downloaded at the link below. It's missing a couple of chapters for some reason but includes the rest of the manual:

That's a very interesting question. I don't have a remote at all. But on mine the doors all lock and unlock at once from the drivers door key. This is a "feature" that I have never really cared for but as "they" say- it is what it is.
Anyway, I wonder if the solenoids at the individual door locks are working properly- only based on my experience.

 

Thanks!

I have already figured that the pilot is only for alarm/trunk. There must be a malfunction with the power locks system - turning and holding the key in would close all windows but all doors stays open.
