Boot or trunk will not engage to lock it

X type 2002 3.0

When closing the boot it will not engage the lock, are there adjustments for that?

It did this without the boot light coming on.

What happens when you try triggering the power unlock on the fob? As a quick check, try spraying the lock mechanism with WD 40. Sounds like the mechanism is sticking open.

When these cars were introduced we had MANY issues with the boot lid and latches. Jaguar issued several TSBs for repair/replace info.

I never used the power unlock or lock on the trunk lid,
I can unlock it by using the button, but I cannot lock the lid, unless
I really slamm it down.
