Locked out of boot

[damol]

Help

My battery went flat last week and i ended up having to call the AA out to start me as my jump leads were in the boot(and it wouldn't open as the battery was flat). I managed to get into the car using a bit of logic, not really too hard but couldn't work out how to actually get into the boot with a flat battery. I keep seeing messages saying that their is a "secret" way. Can someone send me a message and let me know how, for the future please.

As a precaution I have now changed the battery (ended up paying nearly £80 at halfrauds as I needed it asap.!!)

Don't you think 4 months is still new-ish

Personally I wouldn't of emailed both as not knowing them both/ not long enough service

No disrespect to both posters btw.

I did think about it but frankly if you REALLY wanted to get into one badly enough I think you could suss it out in four months anyway. Besides it still took me bloody ages!

Me too please.

Had the flat battery problem cos my garage is full so I can't park the chim in it and plug in the accumate. Had to use the mystic horsemans word to get in and take the battery out to charge it, but would rather have just opened the boot and plugged the charger in.

I think I know how its done, and if I'm right, then mine doesn't work

I connected a convenience charger point (not for Jump leads!) under the front number plate, which I believe others have done also. It was only so I could trickle charge via the boot / front not having to worry about which way round I parked the car or dragging extensions about. They are also useful as test points if you do any electrical diagnosis. BTW putting this in the front of the car fits in nicely with a 'brighter lights type upgrade: Fat cable from starter area to front wing, fuses/relays to power RHS lights switched by original lighting circuit.

Hi all

My battery has gone flat and like the o/p my jump cables are in the boot. I can get into the car OK but there is no power at all. Could someone please email me the instructions?

Thanks as ever.
