Good job combining all the door releases. On my 2008 C6 Coupe, there is also a smooth black button near the license plate light. Push that button and the hatch will open. Ray

Right now as I'm speaking I'm in my hometown in puerto rico but live in Texas, my 13 convertible vette died in the garage even though my sister would turn it on twice a week. I've been gone for 6 months so far and been worried how I'm going to open the car since I didn't leave the hood open for access to the battery, windows open for access to the Manuel lever to avoid the amount of dust and dirt that would have come in so I found your video bro and I never knew about the key fob inside the glove compartment 🤣🤣 I hope the convertible trunk comes with that release cable 🙏 since yours is a coupe, somethings are different but I think I've seen it I will let you know after October 14 2021 when I get back 😎😎😎😎

Unless, the key doesn’t work to release the trunk. Mine didn’t. I had to take out the inboard R taillight, take the light off & hook a wire into the positive and negative wire to the light and then carefully hook it to my battery in my SUV(not running). This allowed the 12v to get into the system to allow the touchpad to open the door and then I could get everything back into order. Had to get a new battery the old one was so discharged. If my key had worked on the trunk release that would have been awesome but my key release latch is on the fritz. I also read you could take the outboard drivers taillight out and reach into the fender and pull the release cable To manually Open the door. Maybe on a coupe but not on my convertible. It was an experience but I got her back up and running. Good video. 👍🏼

You have your windows down. I’d like to know how to go about this when the windows are up and since the batt is dead, the indexing window feature prevents any and all ease of opening the door. Will this damage the glass??

@TexasRealEstate 4 ай бұрын

Go in through the rear hatch using the key fob inside the key.

@drrmdjr 4 ай бұрын

Your response in no way clears anything up regarding my comment. I have a rear hatch key which I know opens the rear hatch. But then what?? The windows are up and you can’t manually open the doors cuz the indexing feature doesn’t work when you open the door. Will the glass shatter when I force my door open?? All I can think of is to climb inside the rear hatch and into the cockpit and open and remove the top allowing me to now open the doors.

How do we get in if we have the keys locked inside the car and the battery is dead ?

@TexasRealEstate 3 жыл бұрын

That's a tricky one! If you can manage to get a coat hanger wire in through the driver or passenger window without causing any damage, and catching that manual door release I'd say that's the only way I can think of. If that doesn't work or sound appealing and you don't have spare key -- I'd probably contact the dealer and see what they'd suggest.

Well I'd say... Better have a backup key in that case! Otherwise, I'm thinking that maybe - just maybe you could pull off the ol coat wire hanger trick to catch one of the manual door releases, if you can find a way to get it through toward the top of the window.
