hi to all,

i need your help, my glove box touch control does not want to work so i'm in deep SH... all my papers are inside, even my phone and home keys, is there a way to open it ??? i did not find anything in the manual that i downloaded from here.

pleasssssssse heeeeelp lol

thanks and happy new year

 

I know on my 04' XJ if the Valet mode is activated the glove box and boot won't open. Just a thought try turning off Valet mode.

I agree with Ed - a locked glove box is usually indicative of Valet Mode being ON. You can check the status of this on the Touchscreen.

If it is set ON, the PIN is needed to deactivate it. If the PIN is forgotten/lost then it's a Jaguar Dealer job to deactivate it.

On my XK, the Glove Box can be opened even in Valet Mode using the Emergency Key Blade in the Smart Key. I haven't taken sufficient notice when in an X351 to know if it has the same kind of release button.....?

Hi to all,
Its not in valet, i even put it on and then off sevral times but still nothing
Beside this i have a maserati quattroporte with a push button practically the same and for this one there is a strap in case of emergency so i thought in the jaguar too but after i searched, did not find anything, so if yoy guys know where a strap is hidden
As for the emmergrncy blade key, i have one but where to put it?
Thanks and happy new year

 

As you've already found out, the Driver's Handbook has nothing on the Glove Box other than identifying the button.

I'm away from home and don't have access to the Workshop Manual for the X351. If anyone has this available, any emergency release procedure will be there.

Have you checked / eliminated the fuse?

It's Fuse57 (10 amp Red) in the Passenger Compartment Fuse Box. This also protects the sun visor lamps and vanity lamps so if these are working, the fuse will be OK.

 

Hi
All are working,
Jag dealer says no emergency and took a meeting in 8 days to repair it,
Anyway, i will wait and never put my phone inside again

 

A meeting in 8 days! Garage service in France never ceases to amaze me.

Several years ago I had a radiator hose burst on my (then) XJ40 when returning from Christmas Day lunch in Amiens. Although I could get a depanage that same day back to where we we staying near Albert, Jaguar Paris was closed for a week and a new hose was unavailable until they re-opened.

I'm south of you today in Pays de Loire. Hopefully I get back to Eurotunnel without needing any dealer assistance or I could be in France until February!

I have a jaguar xjl 3.0 2013. The glove holder does not open. I already tried via valet but it does not solve. there is also a small noise like something to hit the engine. it's normal?

 

yeah mines just decided to quit on me after I disconnected the battery for some reason

 

but after trying to find a fuse or relay problem all day today I found that behind the touch button the switch /sensor had came unclipped and was causing the problem

 

Hey I have a 2012 XJL Portfolio....LOVE the car but the glove box won't open and the Vanity Lights won't come on. The Valet Mode is off. What's the next step?

 

have the same issue with my 2012 XJL have never been able to open the glove box or turn on map lights but dome light works. replaced fuse F57 and replaced overhead unit... there must be another fuse or a possible relay somewhere? any help is greatly appreciated
