Default Fuse Box for 2003 XJ8 / Trunk Release

Cannot open Trunk with remote, release buttons, or key. I feel like I have a fuse blown but am unable to find the location. The drawings I have do not match my car. I have two under the hood and 0ne in the trunk.I checked behind the front kick panels and there are no fuse boxes there. Any help would be appreciated.

think if it won`t open with the key the trunk would have to be jammed. key should open it no matter what. like directly with out motor actuation.

No, it's not jammed. I can open it with a screw driver with no problem just by tripping the latch. I feel as though it's a fuse but I can't find it. All the fuses that I have found check okay. Thanks for the info.

I forgot to say that I drilled a hole behind the license plate so I could access the latch.

Youve gotten broken wires in the right side hinge harness. Open it up and repair buy soldering and matching the colors..you know, green to green, black to black etc...
OH AND IF THE KEY DOESNT WORK LUBE THE LOCK REAL WELL ITS STUCK
