Thread: dead battery can't open the doors

if you have a trailer setup, (assuming its done correctly) you can just pin onto earth and AUX to get power to the battery (charging only)

Thanks Blknight, I will try tomorrow, I read earlier about using trailer plug but I couldn't think between earth and what pin to get it going again, I completely forgot about the aux, I was thinking all the other circuits would be dead ends so to speak.
Cheers Matt

pretty sure that AUX power should be on all the time BUT its fused if you blow that you're down to getting under and trying to clip onto the starter.

you could also just remove the front grill cover and lever the bonnet catch open..

I've had a similar problem, but in reverse. How do you lock the tailgate door if the battery is totally flat, disconnected ? As on the way to work one day I tried to start the car, but it was all dead, no displays, etc. I thought I'd lock up and come back to it later but couldn't get the back door to lock. Eventually turned out to be loose battery connection, but got me wondering ?

I have just had to take out the batteries and charge them in my D2, both where completely dead to the point of not even the little red light flashing on the dash, the disco has sat for close to six months.

With flat batteries you can open the drivers door with the key but no other doors can be unlocked.

I climbed across from the drivers seat to release the bonnet to remove the batteries.

When putting the charged batteries back in make sure you have your key on you, as soon as the car gets the required voltage the alarm will go off but one press of the unlock button on the key fob disarms it and the immobiliser.

Then everything is back to normal
