In Through The Out Door
Now there is another way into the car that is less damaging than breaking windows. On the left side of the rear bumper there is a small square knockout piece. Pop out the square piece and insert the key $the only key that you receive with this car$ into the key switch hidden behind the bumper. This will allow you access into the car's trunk, where you will find another surprise.
Once you open the trunk with the key, you have access to the driver's side of the trunk. Here you'll need to pull away some of the carpet, and when you do you'll uncover two small handles attached to cables. One handle will release the driver's door and the other will open the fuel filler door. Lo and behold-you now have made access into an XLR that has no power due to a dead battery or some other problem.
Open the door with your key. Now pull the hood latch to open the hood.
it is not a power hood release, so it will operate with a dead battery, then it has a safety release behind the grille. no power needed. goodluck
The hood should still open when the battery is dead
Open the door with your key and pull the hood release.
I would crawl underneath the vehicle and attach a battery charger (+ Red) directly to the starter center terminal and the other end( black - )to a good ground. This will charge your battery.
The hood is not controlled by any electrical device, and the battery being dead has nothing to do with opening the hood. Pull the hood latch. Can't find it then read your owner's manual.
Use your key to unlock the door and then pull the hood release.
use the key to unlock door
Every car ever made is just a cable to open the hood. Use your key to unlock the door and pull the cable marked "hood".
The hood is in no way controlled or opened by the battery. A hood does not have an electric release. It's a cable operated system.
do you not have a key to open the door? if you do, use it to open the trunk and climb through to open the door manually
Open the door and pull the hood release.
