I drive a 2002 s430,i knew my battery was losing juice b/c it would hesitate when starting of recent but i kinda overlooked it b/c i dont drive this car everyday. My car is now totally dead & my locks arent responding 2 the lock/unlock command from the remote and i cant open the trunk w/my internal key twisting both ways & pushing in. My hood is having problems opening on the left side(u have to push down on that side & pull the lever @ the same time) so i couldnt gain access to my 2nd battery which i thought was under the backseat. Can anybody help me gain access to my trunk? Idk why my key wont open it up & the trunk latch in the car isnt responding due to the electrical system i think. Help asap please!!! Thanx in advance =)

 

Thanx 4 nothin peeps, but i come 2 find i dont have 2 batteries in my car as i expected. There are jumping post in the front passenger side floor board behind a piece of removable metal. I got my car 2 start after help from a friend that works @ a benz dealership & a few calls 2 his coworkers. My car is running fine tho i'm sure i need 2 replace the battery apap. The problem was my son left a light on in the backseat =(

 

Dear Brndnb02,

Replace the battery asap ...thats why all the electronic arent functional. especialy rear trunk.
Jump start at the front bonnet like you did before than you can access it due to electricity flowing.


sorry for late reply
