Key and Spare key locked in Boot

[pauldirisblue]

Hi Guys
Having a nightmare, I have the plastic spare key which opens the drivers door but does not enable any cabin power. I'm aware of the emergency manual release cable in the passenger side wheel arch however due to where the car is kept access is nigh on impossible. The battery is fully charged presently. I was wondering if anyone knows if I run the battery down (Ill just have to keep the hazards and parking light on for a few days) and then apply 12v to the fusebox terminal to enable opening of the hood, will this only work with the key fob (Which is in the boot) or will the manual opening switch on the drivers rocker panel open the boot work as well? Any info would be highly appreciated
Paul

I won't ask how you managed to lock the car and leave both keys in the frunk!

Anyway, does the battery have to be flat before applying power to the fuse box terminal :dont know:

Have you not tried that already? Did it not work?

I was interested in finding a wiring solution to this ..

If you unplugged the rear Control unit which is under the passenger's seat , plug A pin 19 blue wire .. put a 12 volt feed to this and the boot would open .

That's the feed wire for the boot motor .

This is where the confusion rises for boot/engine compartment! Anyway here is the wiring for a 2005 car.
