door locking fault
I've been having the exact same problem for almost 3 months now. Haven't located the cause of the problem yet, still waiting for warmer weather to come. I'm thinking the problem might be caused by a malfunctioning sensor that's indicating something is unlocked. This could be a door or the hood or trunk.

Things to check at no cost
Check pin switch under hood on drivers/left hand drive side near strut tower and make sure it hasn't fallen out of its hole. It has a black rubber bellows covering the actual switch pin if it's still intact. Open and close trunk/boot several times. Does it seem to latch normally or does it have to be slammed? Do any of the doors seem to require excessive pressure when using either the inside or outside handles to get them to unlatch and open?
If you can't detect an obvious defect in these areas your local Jag dealer can do a scan of last 10 alarm activations and tell you exactly where the problem lies. Price may vary, IDS/SDD required. The double horn blow is an alarm activation and will be recorded.

I checked the hood switch and it is still in place. The rubber boot is loose but still covering the switch and from what I can tell the wiring is still hooked up to it. I pressed the switch several times but still can't use the remote to lock the doors. Can you explain where the sensors are for the doors and trunk?

Switch locations
All switches are internal to the latch assemblies and not serviceable seperately except the hood switch of course. The latches are all riveted together.
I still think the best plan of attack is to pay the dealer $100 to do the scan and tell you which latch is causing the fault. I assume of course you do not have message center in the instrument pack. If you had message center it would be telling you which door, trunk or hood was open.
The problem with self diagnosis of Jaguar door latches is the fact that the cars are equipped with the global open feature. If you don't know what you are doing and probing around in the latch pins you could trigger a global open event and if your hands are in the door you could lose a finger or worse and yes I have seen this happen. Remember the pinch protection feature only works for closing the windows not opening. If the windows start coming down and a hand or piece of equipment is in the mechanism and gets caught the motor will push harder and harder until something is severed or the motor reaches thermal overload and shuts down. Just because it shuts down doesn't mean the pressure will be released. The person saving your life will probably have to break the mechanism to get you out and yes I've actually had to do this myself to retrieve a fellow tech that then needed 38 stitches. Please, no new unintentional amputees on ther forum.

Well, that was this morning, but this afternoon after driving for awhile it's back to not working again. I'm going to pull the switch to have a look at it and play with it some more to see if I can't get it to work again. If not at least I know what has to be replaced.

I would think all would have it as this would be part of the security system. Real_Tech is the one that suggest checking it, look at his earlier postings in this thread. Mine is a little loose in the mounting so I'm going to try and remove it and check the switch and the wiring connection to see there's any reason for what appears to be a no connection. Like I said earlier after moving it around and working my finger over the harness and connector it started working again for a short while. I'm hoping it will start working again, but if not I will buy a replacement switch and hope that will take care of the problem.
