I would say if after 2 days and it still has no power you may have to try a real battery charger connected to the battery.

Ok, today i tried to turn on the car and the only light that came up was the backlight on the lights ****

Probably will try to open the boot today. Is it ok to connect battery charger to the fuse box under the dash to open the boot? Or i need to use another battery?

And yes, im a total noob when it comes to electronics

GUYS,
try owning a tow company that does aaa service calls to people who r having the same problem as u, with no forum to turn to. In addition u have to explain to all your employees the same thing u r explaining to each other, not easy to say the lease. The problem u r having is the same for 911's as well so its not limited to just the cgt. It really is tricky but if i could simplify it, follow this: Once u find the little red tab and pull it, connect a positive cable to it, then connect a negative cable to your door lock (the big u shaped thing bolted to the actual side of the car where the door locks to). then turn the power on ur portable pack and voila u should have enough power to open the hood latch. Hope it helps, if not ur guess is as good as mine, good luck

Thanks. I think it is impotant to note that I needed to use a battery pack as you said or another battery since it didnt work for me using a battery charger.

Did you use the glove box trickle charger or did you use a regular battery charger?

I would suggest connecting a battery charger directly to the battery overnight and see if that works.

Yep, used the proper charger. Charged for about 8 hours, until current started to fall on the indicator. Maybe that wasnt enough.

Im trying to charge it no as well... For about 6 hours no and full day tomorrow. Im a bit hesitant to leave it overnight
