Battery locked in boot...... 1999 C Class 2ltr W202

[steve otter]

Hi, I disconnected my battery to charge it, but then the boot got closed.

Now I cannot open boot as no power, and key lock doesnt work.

Where under the bonnet is there car jump starting points?

Thanks

If there are no specific jump start points you could maybe use the positive connection on the starter

The jump point on the 202 is on the nearside near the bulkhead / suspension mount. It's a little black box with a lid which you can spring open. This is a positive terminal and you can use any convenient chassis point or the engine as the negative.

See top right hand corner. Under this cover is the Live, (POSITIVE) from the Battery. You CANNOT jump start from here but you can supply 12V to open boot. Use any good Earth in Engine Bay.

How come your Wiper is at rest on the wrong side of the Windscreen...?

Thank you that worked
