XJ 2010 . removed battery to charge unable to open boot.
hello all,
i have just purchased this car ,after driving home i sat on the drive way and tried setting up the satnav, audio setting ,seat position etc after this the car wouldn't start, guessed the car wouldn't start because the battery was flat, ( car didn't try and start, but dash illuminated.) i disconnected the battery and connected a charger to the battery .(thinking this would be best for the cars electronics ......) now i can't open the boot to connect the battery !!! feeling frustrated !!! tried what the manual says about connecting to the lug in the fuse box with a 12v supply ,no good guess this is because the battery is disconnected ? and help would be greatly appreciated . thanks.

Welcome to the forum big k,
Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.
I can see you've already found your way to the X351 tech forum so there's no need for a link to it from me.
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.
Enjoy the forums.
