Trunk is not opening`
#1
![Exclamation](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/icons/icon4.gif)
I own a 1998 XJ8 and the trunk is not opening by any means. This being said, its not opening using the trunk switch located on top of the trunk, OPEN trunk key located on my Jaguar Remote control or the OPEN trunk Button located next to the driver seat. The only way I can open the TRUNK is by inserting the KEY and opening it.
I DON'T have the owners manual and the fuse box discription doesn't mention TRUNK whatsoever.
PLEASE help me OUT.

Welcome to the forum meashok2,
Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.
The usual reason for the luggage compartment electrics failing is a break in the harness where it is attached to the hinge.
Follow this link XJ ( X308 ) XJ8 / XJR - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the X308 forum for help, advice and information. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for info on regular issues.
Please remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.
You can also visit the USA Southwest Region forum by following this link USA Southwest - AZ TX NM OK - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to find other members in your region.
Enjoy the forums.
Graham
