Hey guys,
I haven't used my car in a few weeks. Apparently the batteries drained. probably due to the cold. Went to go open it and run it a bit. the security light was off and nothing from the electric door locks. I tried opening the trunk through the manual process but it doesn't want to release. Hood is latched tight. Not sure how else to restore power to open it up. Luckily its at my house so not a big deal.
The doors can be manually unlocked with the master key (not valet key). No power is needed for this operation, a little more effort is required to turn key though. The trunk can also be opened manually, insert key then push straight up on key, trunk lid should immediately open up. Once you have unlocked door, open up the hood and recharge your batteries with the B+ terminal and ground post.

Ah okay. I was able to open the drivers side door. I thought unlocking it with no power would move the lock handle on the inside. It didn't move so I assumed it wasn't unlocked when I turned the key.
Thx M6csi
