I'm suspecting the car's battery?

It has never opened manually with the key on the drivers door. Are there any other manual locks hidden away? It's an 02 tourer? Reading other threads I found one suggesting hooking the rear light cluster to a 12v dry cell to feed enough power to the system to trip the c/locking actuator. Would a battery charger do the same ........or do permanent damage to a). Me, b). the car? I would rather not break the drivers' door glass to lift the button, to unlock the bonnet, to charge the battery but....... I'm not sure if there is any other option?????
I'm sure there is - please! |

He's been trying to get a power supply into the system by going in through the main cable on the starter motor but it doesn't seem to be working for him.
I think it might just come to a blown fuse in the fuse box inside the car. BUT as I said he can't get into the car to replace the door fuse.

Hi Jon.
Yes i know but in his first post he states ( I'm suspecting the car's battery?) therefore if he get the bonnet open, he can add another battery. or put a charger on it.
The front bonnet cables will not open the tail gate on a Tourer.
