If you ever find yourself stranded with a dead battery in your Dodge Challenger, don’t despair. There are a few simple steps you can take to open the car’s trunk with the help of a few tools. Let’s take a look at them below. ###
Tools You’ll Need
If you have a dead battery in your Dodge Challenger, there are some tools you’ll need to help get the hatch open.
The most common tool for this job is a flathead screwdriver. You’ll also need a wrench to remove the screws that hold the latch assembly in place, and a Torx T-20 bit (or equivalent) to remove the locking screw.
Once those are removed, use a hammer and chisel to pry up on the lip of the trunk lid until it pops loose from its hinge. Once it’s free, fold it down and pull out the battery.
How To Do It
If you find yourself in a situation where you need to open your Dodge Challenger’s trunk with the dead battery, there are a few things that you can do. The first is to try and jump the car, but this is not always successful. The second option is to use a key or code. If you don’t have either of those options, then your last resort is to use a screwdriver.
Troubleshooting If It Doesn’t Work
If you’re having trouble opening your Dodge Challenger trunk with a dead battery, there are a few things to check. Make sure the key is fully inserted in the ignition and turn it to the “On” position. Next, check to see if the car’s warning light is on. If it is, press and hold the trunk release button for two seconds. If that doesn’t work, try using a Jumper cables or starting the car with its key still in the ignition.
