dead battery

[986chris]

Boys after not driving since christmas, the battery is dead. I tried pulling the terminal in the fuse box and boosting in with a battery charger but no dice. Thinking of push starting it or sawzalling a hole in the hood ha! Anyway a great idea here would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

Search under the passenger side bumper for the emergency release cable - it's a bicycle type cable to manually release the Hood mechanism. Just pull it.

These get moved around, so it may take some searching, but it's in there.

Good Luck!

Right wheel well (passenger side) you have to get under the wheel well cover to find the cable. It is a thin grey cable/wire. If you have time, and the weather is warm enough, take the time to remove the front clip, clean your radiators and then move your cable to the tow hook spot. I used duck tape and small zip ties and you would never know it was there. There is a great post with step by step pics on how to remove the front clip and how to move your cable access wire to the tow hook. I did it in about 3 hours with the removal and reinstall by myself and it was really easy. I have a battery maintainer, I live in Ohio, and I try to drive my boxty once a week but the maintainer is piece of mind. Hope this helps!

I also talked to the dealership they said it's passenger side up in one of the holes through the bumper cover, I'll give it another try tonight. I wish I could drive it every week, but we have just been slamed with winter this year! Good news , track opens April 4th yea-ha!!
