My trunk latch will not close. I have reset battery and tried manually? Any hints on what I could try next?

 

There's a section in the workshop manual about aligning the liftgate - it's quite long, so I can't copy it here. No mention of dealing with failure to lock, though.

I assume you've tried lubricating the latch. it should be possible to make the latch move by sliding a screwdriver blade sideways up into the latch slot - I've seen this done to fool the car into thinking the liftgate is closed, to allow it to be locked with the liftgate open.

 

Carlos, be sure to add your name and info on the 2009 Jaguar XKR Portfolio Edition Registery. We are building a list of owners of this very rare Jaguar XKR.

Here's the thread I started......
