Classic problem but what do I do???????

Thanks

Open your driver door and the electrical fuse panel there.

There is a little jumper spot (red stickish thing that comes out) where you can connect a battery backup device. This will provide power to open the hood so you can re-connect the battery

 

Or found the hidden unlatch cable....Right wheel well under the plastic liner....On the picture a view of what the cable looks like...

 

Even if the battery is disconnected?

 

It should work because that's the way we open the forward trunk when the battery is completely dead....

 

The wire is a pain to find. Use the trick in the user manual, connect battery charger to the + in the fuse box, - to the door latch thing on the body/chassis. Then pop the trunk the normal way.

 

Tried the wire which was a pain to find and still couldn't yank it to pop the hood so ended up trying the fusebox trick wich worked like a charm. Wish I had tried that option first!

Thanks guys for your help!

 

Fuse box trick does work pretty well. A little annoying, but works

 

No problem.

That was the first thing I learned how to do on my TT because I had a dead battery. Certainly easier than fishing for wires :P
