NEED HELP BIG TIME!!
 
hello to all i have a big problem and hope some one can help so i got the self level warning today and i read to get rid of the warning i have to take the negative wire off the battery and wait half hour so i did that and like a dumbass o closed the trunk and now i can't open it to hook it up so does anyone know a way i can open the trunk so i can get to the battery? :dunno:!ouch:

Just hook up a battery charger or a set of jumper cables to the jump plug under the hood, I've done it many a time, works great.

ok i got the top lid open now i just need to get the bottom hatch open ... and would a battery charger work since the negative plug is not connected?

Of course it will, think about what you're trying to do, all you're trying to do is get power to the vehicle, like I said I've done it many times, and no I don't have a big battery charger. You can lock/unlock the doors, power the windows etc., I did mine with my battery completely out of the car, see, not so hard, you didn't need all those capital letters in your title...lol!

Or you could've hooked up a set jumper cables from another vehicle, glad you got it open.

If you can get inside the vehicle, on the rear hatch next to the left light is a little small rectangular door type thing that pops off very easily. That is a manual release of the hinge mechanism and the hatch will open.
