Gregavi Report post Posted April 6, 2014 Hi all,Today I went out to drive my 2013 to the market but my FOB would not unlock my door. I thought maybe my FOB battery was dead so I tried opening the door with the combo above the door. No luck there. I had to remove the lock cover and open it manually.I then tried to start it. No luck there. I tried to pop the trunk, no luck there. How do I access the battery? I couldn't unlock the back doors so I sent my 11 YO daughter to the back, pull the seats down, crawl to the trunk area and pull the trunk release handle (It was fortunate that, when I first bought the car and discovered the trunk release handle I would let her crawl back there and open the trunk as a game, so she knew exactly where it was). It would have been very difficult for me to make that crawl at my age and size. So, I figure "Horrible design" to not be able to access the trunk when the battery dies without crawling through a very tight space. I connected my jumper cables to my wife's car battery and then to my battery and before I could even start her car my horn started going off. I then started my car, disconnected the jumper cables, drove to the market and back and now all seems to be OK. So, what happened? How do I prevent this from happening again? Is this really the only way to access the battery when it is dead? Input welcome. Thanks in advance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
