Front Trunk Locked - battery dead, security locked????

My "03 has a terminal in the fuse panel (drivers foot well), to which you add power (hotbox, jumper cables, whatever) and it provides power for the electronic frunk release.

Yep, that's what I have, along with the pull wire/cable in the left fender.

Before you take it to the dealer in Cancun let me know, I have an ex porsche mechanic in Cancun that comes to work on my car 2002 S. Very good and 1/4 of the Price the dealer will charge.

Apologies on delayed response Tanque55.. I would love to get in touch with him if possible - my car really hates dealerships and the logistics of getting it there is a big pain in the arse.

Much thanx!../mc

Don't forget to drill holes under the driver's seat (near the immob.) so the water can drain out next time. I found drilling 2 - one on each side in the lowest part seems the most logical. Surprisingly thin metal between your butt and the road.

Yeah...then never drive in the rain again so that no water splashes through causing immobilizer damage, rust or mold.

I would never drill holes through the bodywork. Keep your drains clear and if you're still worried, get a waterproof case or container. There's no reason to go redneck hacking your car. Just fix it right and keep up with maintenance.

The next thing Particlewave is going to tell us is to never fix our cars with Ducktape or drive around with all mismatched tires, or use an umbrella as a soft-top. You need to watch more ROADKILL PW

Yeah, no doubt! I’d zip tie mine in a plastic garbage bag before I would drill holes underneath it!
