Trunk Emergency Lid Opening...

[creekman]

I had ask Loren where the Stainless Steel cable terminated for the emergency trunk lid latch. You probably already know that the cable loop hides around the right front

fender baffle. Loren suggested tying fish line to the end of the cable for easier access. Either way it's probably a good idea to know where this emergency cable is before you need it.

What I didn't know is that you can do a battery jump off of the fuse/relay panel on the left footwell. The information is in our Owner's Manual. My question is, can

you also use a battery charger in lieu of the battery?

I'm not sure what we would do without Loren, he takes some of the drama out of owning the 996...

Thanks,

See page 214 in your Owner's Manual...

Depends what type of charger you are using. A power pack will do it but a little trickle charger will not. Not enough current to trigger the solenoid. I have a little motorcycle battery that works great. I was working on the car once with the battery disconnected and I inadvertently closed the trunk.

Thanks, good information...
