Hi, can someone tell me how I can get into an RX8 when the battery appears to be dead please? It\'s been off the road a little while and now even though the key fobs light up theres nothing happening to the car and I don\'t know how to get in without alarms and things going off as manual is in car. Any advice appreciated, cheers Angela x
Only thing I can think of is jacking the car up and with battery charger/booster hook the positive clip the the starter motor, there will be a cable coming out of it, hook it up to where it joins the starter and hook the negative clip to a ground, somewhere on the chassis/engine block or transmission housing. This should provide enough power to the receiver to allow your fob to unlock the car.
Hope this helps, can\'t think of anything else :S
if the battery is dead then the alarm wont go off, just use the key.
Yeah, figured that out eventually! Such a girl! Lol. Cheers anyway
