Emergency Key workaround.

For those of you who don’t have an emergency key to open the door in the event your car battery is dead.



Parts needed

12mm wire ring terminal 18GA

10mm 1.25 nut

18GA stranded wire

Fuse socket. 10A fuse

Ty-Raps

Just curious...

Earlier comment was made in error...good idea of an reachable point to back feed voltage when battery is flat.
Fuse is an excellent safety feature.

It looks to me like it's tucked just behind the grill so one could access it with their fingers... appears to be a good, smart, 'cover your ***' move I'll look at doing on mine.
Thanks Julioz32.
