Flat Battery & Gaining Access into car

[KillerHERTZ]

Just gone out to my car to find I have a flat battery - a result of the alarm problems most likely.

I have tried to get into the car with the key blade from the drivers door, however it wont unlock and I am at risk of bending the blade. How can I get access?

Thanks!

Is there no way of opening the bonnet from the outside?.As if you can gain access to the fuse for the central locking you can pewer the central locking system from there and therfore letting you use your remote ?

Not that I can see, I wanted to get access to the cabin to open the bonnet - the battery is in under the bonnet on a W209

or get an old wire coat hanger and pushing it through behind the window and rubbur and trying to catch the inside door handle as I am sure pulling on the handle will overide the lock and open the door?

Lube the door lock with penertration fluid. Leave it for 30 mins and try again.

Thanks, so it deffo is meant to open via the blade? I didnt want to force it.

how about going through the boot? or has the rear locked siezed?

If the door lock is stuck can you use the blade in the boot, open that, fold the seats down and get in that way?

Right, got boot open!

Will try and climb through which is going to be fun!

Can you use another W211 to jump start? - or will that fry its electronics? - no mention in the W211s manual but im sure I read it on here.

Just follow the instructions in the manual re jump starting. There are terminals provided under the bonnet to attach the jump leads.

Glad you got in mate :bannana:

That was interesting to say the least - not exactly a large gap to fit though!

The interior lights, indicators had been flashing all night it appears and had flattered the battery to nearly nothing...

If nothing else at least you have got in to the car, without an expensive bill,
One of the first thing that I checked when I got my car was the door lock, as I have a habit of leaving something on,lol
