I have been out of town over 3 monthes for vacation. When I come back, everything doesn't work even remote key.

I tried to open the doors with remote to charge battery(I thougt that was battery problem), but I gotta manually use key to open it ; also, I couldn't open trunk, so I couldn't do anything

What should I do? anyone knows?

nothing responds......

Help me....

They will jump start the car for you, after that, drive it for at least 45 minutes!

You should be able to use the key to open the trunk, you dont need power to open the trunk.

Iceman is right. Your battery sounds as dead as a doormail.

Sorry for writing back so late, pal.

Just back home after a day on the tow truck.



With your key you can open the car: OLD STYLE!
Insert the key in the keyhole and turn it!
Definately works.

Roadside Assistance will jump start it, you drive 45 minutes and everything SHOULD be fine.

Oh yeah!

Easiest way to confuse me: turn off my HUD!
I'll instantly become a nervous wreck because I don't know my current speed...

Really...
