Can any one help me to open the bonnet and charge the battery ?
I have found that connecting to the terminal in the fuze box needs to be done with a decent sized battery, as it takes a fair amount of current to run the actuator. A battery charger wouldn’t cut it, but it was able to connect to my motorcycle battery (and my MC jumper cables have small clamps on the ends, which helps) and that worked just fine.
