Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

7 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

1 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Long story short, my car has a dead battery. I can't open the frunk vie cable as it seems the shop that repaired my front bumper moved it. When I attach a 12V power source to the fuse box red post the car alarm goes off and won't let me pop the frunk. I was under the impression i have to have the key in the ignition to avoid this but that does not seem to work either. Any thoughts? :ah:

POST 2Original post

Have you tried the cigarette lighter charge method? You may have to buy a male to male adapter if using a jump pack, it should work.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

No, I haven't. That is my next (final? ) option. My next question on that would be if i start to give the battery some juice it will just set the alarm off again. Or is there some security feature built into the red post in the fuse box that is not built into the lighter method.

POST 4Original post

Why can you alarm is going off use your key fob to turn it off? you can charge the battery through cig lighter port. or if you get 12 volts to it then disable the alarm to open the things up.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for the help gents, determined not to spend more money on charging options I spent the better part of an afternoon finding that pull cable. Once it was fished out, I was in the clear.

Yeah that can be a pain to get to. A lot of us here moved it to the tow hook hole. Much easier to get to that way.

POST 7Original post

I have the exact issue now, alarm keeps going off. Tried the key in the door everything, but when I add 12 v to the pullout red connector the alarm goes off. Last year when i did this it worked just fine. One member suggested I put a charge on the post and try it for 15 mins, but by then most of the county cops will be here.
