Another trunk issue

Hi guys,
I really need your help on this one. I accedentaly disconnected the switch in the trunk, so the car thinks the trunk is open. the button in the middle with the cat head is shot and the black key wont open the trunk. is there a way to jump a few wires to activate the solenoid without the trunk open. I just don't know what to do. Can I remove the rear seats and get the trunk open somehow? Please help! Oh, It's a '96 XJ6.
Regards,
Ruben Velez

There is no access through the back seat - I just dismantled a 96 VDP after a wreck and the fuel tank is in the way. The black key should open it if I remember right that is a mechanical connection to the latch (in case the battery is totally flat). Also, does your black key have the gold color Jaguar growler logo in it or just plain black? The plain ones are aftermarket and I have seen ones like that cut to Valet style. You have to check if there is an extra cut at the bottom for owners key (hard to explain and I do not have my keys anymore or I would take and post a pic)
If you get it open and need some repair parts, I think I have a few items left from the trunk mechanism in boxes (middle button, maybe an actuater, dunno have to look)... PM me if interested enough for me to drag out the boxes.
