Al Mar Posted December 24, 2021 Report Share Posted December 24, 2021 Car is in storage state,, not used in a year, and I have access to the driver door with the key. I need to open the lift gate to access battery location. Need help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill-N Posted December 24, 2021 Report Share Posted December 24, 2021 Unfortunately the lift gate latch is electrically operated, and, to my knowledge, there's no (easy) way to open it from inside. Best bet is to use jumper cables to provide power. Cheers. IFHP, fbov and cr08 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fbov Posted December 25, 2021 Report Share Posted December 25, 2021 Yep; jump the car and you should be able to open the lift gate using the other car's 12v. BobRay and cr08 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobRay Posted December 30, 2021 Report Share Posted December 30, 2021 I used a small booster battery on the jumper posts under the hood to jump the car and to get the lift gate to operate. cr08 and fbov 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homestead Posted September 3 Report Share Posted September 3 Another tip when replacing the 12V battery in rear of the car hook up jumper cables & 12V power source under the hood and you won't lose any programming in the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
