So I have a trifecta of problems here and I believe I am up the creek at this point.
Living in NW Montana and was negligent in keeping the float charger connected. This resulted in a dead battery. I went to use the valet key to enter the trunk and the lock mechanism was a little stiff. I sprayed WD 40 into the key slot and I warmed up the garage. Then, as I turned the key, if finally gave way but I believe the cable broke away from the lock mechanism as the key freely turned a full 380 degrees. I've read the trunk lid is heavy and you sometimes need two people to lift it. To no avail, it won't open.
So the XLR is tucked away in the garage, and since I'm a big guy, I can't get to the front end to get a charger on the access points under the front bumper.
My only idea is to soap up garage floor and pull it back out of the garage a few feet, jack it up so I can access said points. Or go to Harbor freight and buy some car dollies and do the same. I don't want to do any damage to the drivetrain by pulling it backwards.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks
