    Locked out after sitting for 10 days

    The Rangie has been sitting unused for the last 10 days and today I tried to open the door with the fob and nothing. A key in the door doesn't do anything. I expect the battery voltage is too low now to operate any actuators. Doesn't a key in the door lock unlock I would have thought it would. So suggestions appreciated.
    Thanks Mario

    You need to reach under and using jumper leads hook the pos lead onto the starter and neg to chassis with a spare battery, that will energise enough for the fob to work.

    Hmm. not well enough to go crawling under cars at the moment.

    I was thinking of rigging up a plug into the 7 pin trailer plug and using the AUX wire terminal and earth terminal and connections a 12 volt charger on it to charge battery.??????

    Should work, only needs to be enough to unlock the car then charge battery.

    G`day , don`t know if it works but i`d look at a wiring diagram and follow the wires back to see .

    As they are switched i`d want to understand how they allow power to the battery .

    There is a direct connection to the battery from my MY12's white plug pin 4. Fuse is 30A.

    I might put a multimeter onto the white trailer plug and see if there is positive power there Cheers, Mario

    A big thanks to Chris 'Rangieman' who took the time to pop overand crawl underneath and connect a booster to the starter for me, we then gain access. The 12 month plus battery was only showing about 2.7 volts! I heard batteries die but this is ridiculous, Going to look at a Caterpiller battery to replace.
