I have a 1986 Jaguar and the battery is dead How do I either get into the hood or open the doors?

 

You're in the wrong forum. This is the X351 Forum, for the 2010-up XJ. You should repost in the XJ6 Forum for 1968-1992 models: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...s-i-ii-iii-16/

 

I would think that a 1986 Jag would have real keys. If jtoomer has a X351 there should be a folding key in the remote and you pop off the rear cover on the driver's door handle and open with the emergency key from the smartkey remote.
