W202 can't get in!!

[jools182]

Hi

Just been to try and get in the car and nothings working, completely dead, tried both fobs

Tried opening the boot with the key but the locks seized, the key will only go in halfway. Tried WD40 but no help

There is a little plastic cover type thing where the lock should be on the passenger door, is there a normal lock under there?

cheers

got in the car but still can't get in the boot

the battery is dead

any ideas?

Open the bonnet and use an auxilary battery to fire up the electrics using the positive and negative terminals in the engine compartment. This will get you in the boot. You should keep trying to free up the boot lock with Wd 40. If you can get a hold of it spray Rost off ice in it.
Don't Panic. This has happened to many.The boot lock will eventually surrender.

where are the positive and negative terminals under the bonnet?

had a look around but can't see anything obvious

hang fire I will check mine

Behind the Windscreen Washer reservoir in the second compartment. This is on the passanger side if you are in the UK. You will see the two treminals. They are covered by a black clip on plastic cover. You have to unclip it to get to them . Make sure you do not hook up in reverse as you will cause damage. Observe the polarity signs and double check before hooking up. This is imperative.

Theres a little black box on the N/S inner wing, there is 2 6mm studs underneath 1 pos, 1 neg, put twelve volts on there too temporary power the car up then use the central locking dash switch to activate the C/L, don,t be tempted to jump the car from here.
Hope this helps.
