I am sure this has been covered but I just cannot find the answer by searching

This morning I went to leave and my battery was dead. It was so ded no dash lights were on, the horndidnt work etc.

When I came home I went to charge the battery but son realized I could not open the boot. To make matters worse, I keep my manual in the boot( to save space in the glove compartment)

I remember reading of a charging post in the drivers side rear wheelewell but I looked and did not see one. There is not much space with 20 inch wheels anyway

I would prefer not having to connect to th starter or alternator

Anyone have a similar experience?


Thanks

The smart key fob has a key in it. Press the small black button on the side and the key slides out. Doh!!

When you have removed the key from the fob the keyhole for the trunk is behind the number plate. Yes, there is a charging point at the rear left-hand corner. I think that it has a rubber cap on it. The negative connection should go to a suitable earth point.

 

I had it in my mind that there was not a key slot so I .. never .. even .. looked !!

I'm such an idiot

Thanks

 

where exactly is the charging point on the left rear? I can't seem to locate it.

 

See post "Battery Charge for Long Lay Ups" for photos and detailed instructions.

This is sooooo timely. I also could not figure out how to get into my trunk. I looked at the photos on the other page and I think I got it. I hope all this is the same for the 2006 model!

 

Well.... no I guess I need more help. The 2006 XKR-s does not have a lock under the license plate. Im at a loss of how to enter my trunk! I cant charge the battery ... HELP!!!
