I need help! I disconnected the battery to charge, and accidently closed the trunk before reconnecting the battery.


The doors are not lock and I can access the hood area.


1. Is there a way to access the trunk without removing the back seats?


2. Will removing the back seat gain access to trunk?


3. Will the jump start procedures work if the battery is disconnected?


Your help is greatly appreciated!

I forgot to mention that I do not have a blade key to my car.

 

Thanks. Issue resolved.

 

gagman66, if the doors are unlocked as you state, then you can open the door, pop the hood and if you access the area on the passenger side of the engine bay, as I recall, there is a battery post there that you can use your battery and a set of jumper cables to apply power to the car. This will allow you to pop the trunk to then install the battery.

If you look in that access, there will be the fuse box. You will see a few large posts and one of them should be labeled with something like "power point" or some other label and will most likely be red in color. That gets the positive of the jumper cable. The negative will attach to any metal part of the engine or there is a special post down on the frame of the car, kinda behind the passenger (US model) headlight.
