Dead battery & no access to it
2002 911 with a dead battery. Switch to open hood is electrical - dead. Jumping positive terminal by fuse panel & door latch - nothing. How can I get hood to open?
Thanks |

Check your owners manual to see if you have an emergency hood pull or possibly another place to hook up the jumper cables. Another thing to try is the jumper cable that plugs into your cigar lighter. Here are the directions for a 996, not sure yours works the same for the emergency pull:
The emergency pull cable is in the PASSENGER side headlight, but you can see it if you take off the right front wheel, take out the plastic keepers in the wheel well lining, and peel back the lining. Look up at the headlight...over on the left side of it at the back...and you'll see a silver braided cable. With a flashlight, the cable is easy to spot. It's actually running into the headlight receptacle, but you can snag it and pull it out so that the wire loop at the end can be grasped.....then pull on it and the front trunk lid will hopefully pop up.
