Locked out - No Battery - System Armed - Can't pop front lid

[Perfectlap]

I keep a Black and Decker battery pack that plugs into the cigarette lighter. It provides just enough juice to power the trunk levers. Costs $40 at Target or Wal-Mart.

After several hours of search and digging.. I finally found a relevant thread on renntech..

The power to the front lid won't help my situation because the front lid is NOT eletric on pre 2000 (99 and down). The problem is that there is a mecanic lock on the lever that prevent me from pulling on it, it engaged when I armed the alarm system. I guess giving power to C3 won't help me here because the point is to unlock the lever, not to give power to a non-electric front lit opener, I would need to give power to the whole alarm system to be able to disarm it. In that thread they suggested the screwdriver method with A LOT of detailed information and pictures. I'll try that one as soon I get home and I'll give you some news about it.

Thanks
