In a moment of stupidity, I pressed the Valet button on my newly-acquired 2001 XJR. Well, I can't get out of Valet mode, and my master key doesn't work in the trunklid (I don't think it did before I pressed the button either). So, now what? I've read that if the trunklight is out, the Valet mode won't turn off, but I found out AFTER I pressed the button. I have two master keys, and nothing is working. Help!

 

Valet mode - trunk button on dash nor on remote will work.

But, I did get it open shortly after, going through a hole made next to where the lower right license plate screw goes. With a 6" screwdriver I can take take the plate off and open the trunk in about a minute now. Thanks though!

 

Wonder if you disconnect the battery for a while if that would reset back to normal? since you can get into trunk ...where the battery is at...

 

Once I got the battery fully charged (it wouldn't take a good charge, and I found a cell with low water), it would come out of valet mode by unlocking the driver's door with the key. After that, I was able to open the trunk with the remote and the button on the dash. Low voltage made it do screwy things.

Sorry, it sounded like I still couldn't use the dash or remote button. I've since gotten it all corrected. Thanks!
