Dead Battery

So i left my lights on last night now the car is dead and cannot get into the trunk. I found the instructions in the fuse box that say to connect the posative to the fuse, and negative to the ground on door. What should I use on this ? A battery jumper?

I think you can use standard jumper cables to another power source (another car, battery, etc) and there is a post that pulls out in the fuse box and then ground on the door post like you said.

To avoid all these problems you should use a never die battery, the battery shuts down when the voltage is low and the clicking the remote control you wake it up and you are ready to go

Cool concept! The price for entry is a little steep though. Good weight savings too.

Kind of late as it's a few weeks later, but, yes, per the manual, it's pretty simple with an extra battery and hook up to the fuse box (yes - personal experience)
