968 locked out! No battery?

[Kie s2]

A few months ago. I took the battery off the 968 as car was not getting used , in order to save 8 month old battery ..so it's being stored and trickle charged ...

Now if I remember I must of locked the car doors first while the battery was on , left the boot open . And took the battery off then slammed the boot shut ...

Now my problem . I tried to get into the car with the key . Thinking it's maybe mechanical , as no battery on car . So in theory should just unlock...

As these cars are getting older you tend to live with faults . In my case a tricky drivers door , and boot lock , but passenger side is fine ..

Does the 968 have a electronic solenoid on the door locks , which needs power to open the locks ? Has anyone experienced this ...?

All the 944's oval dashes over the years ,I've let plenty of battery's run flat, always seem to get. In them , even crawling thru the car to get to tailgate lock solenoid and undo so to jump start ...

S2's have a deadlock override in centre consul ...for Central locking , which sometimes you can activate if knocked ..

Will try wd40 in locks tomorrow ....

Apart from either taking out quarter light window , to gain entry , or sliding a cable in between the glass . Any other suggestions ?

If for security reasons feel free to pm me .

I only thought Tvr had this problem

Cheers

Yup ! Tried that ,

Cheers Guys for your suggestions . As I suspected once these doors are locked they need power. To open them ..even gaining entry thru quarter lite won't help either .

Felix p on the 968 number plate lights are on rear bumper , unlike the 944 .....

See if I can gain entry at the weekend as more time ..


Cheers

Its been a while but I seem to remember a loop and cable in the boot to allow you to open it in emergencies( or if you've been kidnapped and bundled in to the boot)... removing a rubber grommet or something to get to it... ?

This ^^^^^ and I think there is one on the in in the bumper ahead of the front bumper, you can then pop the bonnet and connect a battery to the bits under the bonnet, ( near the wiper motor) and then your locks should work. (The key should work in the passenger side when the battery is dead though)

Yup, I'm sure there was one for the boot on my CS. The owners manual is your friend..

Hi Guys just had look at the front of car tonight . All I can see is grommet in centre . which is towing hook .. Area .. Would it be possible this what you mean ?

Also just scanned thru manual ,this does not give to much away there ..!

It would be great to find the easy option ... Without causing damage ...
As the starter motor option , might be risky if the positive battery feed could be resting on body in boot ..


Thanks
