    Wife left the charger on and the batt is dead while she sits in the garage. Can't get a second car in there to jump it, I have road side assistance. Anything special I should look for or be wary of?

    ok to jump from trunk or has to be under hood?

    You can jump from the trunk or the engine bay. Nothing special other than matching Positive to Positive and Negative to Negative. hehe

    Yes she did, don't you believe him Judd. That's a wifes job, to suck the life out of you, it's what they do best. The car was nothing more then a metaphor. :p









    :whistle:



    Hey, if your doing it under the hood. Make sure and get a good ground on the chassis.

    Something about weight distribution. The battery placement is also fun for those who try to "reset the adaptives" by disconnecting the battery and then CLOSE the trunk... :imao:

    Why is that different than the battery going dead with the trunk closed? Use the key to get in either way, right?

    Got her going... jumped it from the trunk, electronics survived no problem. Glad I checked back in on this thread, you guys and gal had me LMAO

    Thanks for the help!!

    Um, there's not a place to use the key on the trunk. You have to crawl in thru the back seat to pull the tab to open the trunk from the inside.

    "hey babe my battery is dead can you crawl into the trunk and help unlatch the lid?" *thud click bruuuuuum screeeeeeeeech*

    and that kids is how you get a dead hooker in the trunk.
