Stroking it...

As the title suggests...
As many of you know I am traveling oz at the moment... Whilst on a trip back to brissy I've locked the keys to the car on the back of my wagon.. The problem is there is a cage barrier and a boot FULL of stuff (including stuff ratchet strapped to the cargo barrier and my 4 year olds toys who's been stuck inside for 3 days!). My toolbox is in the back so tools are limited, I spent a while with a cost hanger trying to hook them with no success (although very close!) If anyone has any ideas how I can get into the back that'd be great. Considering I can get access to the car I am thinking of running +ve to the ignition to allow me to use the button to pop the boot. Or is there more to it then that... Ideas appreciated....if its some kind of way to gain entry that may help others steal a car, please don't post it here. Please pm me... Cam

hmm don`t know Cam, my first thought is to persevere with the hanger,
i could be barking up the wrong tree here, but any one else near you that has an Au, i`m thinking if the key goes in if i remember correctly it will start momentarily then stall after 5 or 6 seconds with the smart shield thing(hopefully it does no damage), even if it only energizes the boot button for a few seconds your laughing, but i could be mistaken , that was the jist of a post i read some time ago......but i`m old and get confused easily ;), perhaps someone could add some info......hmmm being summoned ;(, good luck any way matey, let us know how you go. |

I think if you remove the BEM fuse and then put it back in this re-energises the boot button.
See this post for fuse box diagram http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthr...u+fuse+diagram |

Would it help to get the back seat base out and then remove the back seat? Only two bolts I think. Though it sounds like the keys are near the back of the car so this is probably a pointless thought...

It is dead set easy to jump a positive wire to you IGN circuit and power up the boot release switch. Thick yellow under the fuse box is battery feed. IGN from memory is green/red (or is it yellow/red???) Anyhow, you keep fiddling you'll soon find it. You might even be able to jump straight to the back of the release switch - easier still!
