Jump Starting alternatives
I have a 2001 and unfortunately my car is stored in a place w/o an electrical outlet and the battery is dead with trunk locked. I have been reading many threads here about the cigarette lighter to cigarette lighter jumper. It appears that the low amperage and the safety factor combined with the lack of fooling around with using cables to open the hood via the fuse box makes it an attractive alternative. Any thoughts? In the least I could get enough juice to get the hood open.
So with my battery completely dead, would would I need to do once started as far resetting electrical devices. I.e. windows, on board computer, alarm system and radio. Is it difficult to enter the radio code and get back to status quo or does the dealership need to get involved? What if I cannot find the radio codes?
Also based on an earlier question, I take it there is no way that I can get oil thruout the engine prior to actually firing it up. THe example I used was like taking the coil wire off and turning the engine over in order to get oil to the upper part of the engine. Any suggestions on my comments here? Thanks to all
