I have a 2001 S type jag that has a dead battery so I cannot access the battery in the trunk, Where is the secondary location under the hood so that I cn jumpstart it that way

 

Does your key work to unlock the trunk? Look under the lip above the license plate, directly under the U in Jaguar.

Don't jump start from under the hood, you can apply power to get the boot open.

You can use this method thanks to Grant........

Having read a few posts like:

"Help my batteries flat and the trunk is locked and I cannot get into it..............".

I went looking at our "newish" 01 S type 3ltr SE today. I am familiar with the +ve posts under the bonnet/hood/place where engine lives, of the X300, BUT, no such delights on the S.

Sooooo, in the engine bay fuse compartment are numerous "not used" positions, HOWEVER, these positions have a single male spade post standing proud. Thoughts abound, so probed with the trusty DCM, car keys IN MY POCKET, and surprise, surprise, they are 12v HOT, SWEET.

Made up a simple wire with an insulated spade on one end, and suitable adaptor on the other end (that will be your sorting based on the battery charger you have), and connected the battery charger, began charging merrily.

Now, based on that if you got a flat battery, and for some reason cannot get into the boot/trunk/rear compartment, a 12V supplied via these terminal will "power up" the car for access purposes etc.

Also a good point to charge the battery without messing with the stuff at the rear.

YOU CANNOT JUMP START VIA THESE, THE WIRES ARE TOOOOOOO SMALL.

Photo shows the wire I made attached, and the other 2 terminals are also 12V HOT, so you do have a choice of 3.



or use the stud behind the passenger wheel wheel well liner
