Posted: Tue Mar 09, 2010 22:14 Post subject: Flat Battery!! How do I get in?? |
|
|
I'm in the Alps and we have had some low temperatures (-23 deg C) I parked my 155 on Saturday and tried to open it tonight Tuesday and it appears that the battery is flat. Pressing the remote has no effect and using the "key" that is in the remote makes a faint clicking from the bonnet area.
The instruction manuals are inside the car, has anybody any ideas please? |

Not exactly sure what a 155 is, but can you not use the key in the door lock? My 120 was as flat as a pancake the other day and that's how I gained entry to release the bonnet to get a jumpstart. I was away for 9 days and left one of th einterior lights on. Doh! _________________ '04 KDJ120R LC5. Died 17th Dec 2010. RIP. |

Nuclear Chicken. Thanks for the reply,
The 155 is the 3 door version of the 150.
I'll try again tomorrow when it is daylight, there is a possibility that I my have knocked the rear interior light on when I was unloading the skis or something. Far too many electronics on this thing! |

OK I'm in now, just required a bit of brute force to turn the key, and yes cause of flat battery was the rear luggage compartment light had been knocked on. What a patetic tool kit they supply with the new 155 |

Well done. I was just about to suggest somehow jumping 12v to the battery. Feasible if you have a towbar, but not easy otherwise. |

marlot, Good idea, I'll file that one away for the next time I do something foolish. |
