At least you can get to the batteries! I had to jump a porsche boxter the other day..... The battery was very dead. The battery is under the front hatch (front trunk?)....but power is required to open that hatch. It can't be done without power. So....you have to jump the fuse panel in a crazy way just to get the hatch open, only then can you actually jump the car. Who is incharge of battery placement on cars these days!?!?!? At least on a vanagon....if you have a battery jump-pack, you can jump the car in the rain without having to get out! -Craig '85Gl sunroof On 4/4/07, Ellen in Oregon <elleninoregon@hotmail.com> wrote: > > Except for the common screwdriver you need to jam in there to hold the > latch > that keeps the seat from coming off the track (or on the track) seriously, > now that I've done it, it wasn't really all that hard.
