How to open trunk with no battery?

EV0LVE · 09-14-2013, 04:27 PM

I accidentally closed the trunk after disconnecting the battery, how do I open it?

I tried the trunk button inside the car, doesn't work.

Fold down the rear seat and release the emergency latch.

I don't have rear fold down seat.

That has happened to me before. Find another car, open the hood and connect the jumper cables.

That's exactly what I did and it worked. What a PITA.

I was actually told by a dealer that if you can't jump it, you have to drill it open.

The fold-down rear seat release are only accessible from the trunk.

I thought of pulling out the ski pass-through and pulling the emergency release...
