My daughter's 2006 E350 has a key blade NOT paired to the boot/trunk (USA) - I forgot for a minute with battery disconnected and LOCK OUT! The few minutes you spent making this saved me a lot of grief. FYI in the US, everything is reversed. Fuse Panel on left side, and that positive cable comes off the BACK of the Fuse Panel. I couldn't even confirm it had a red cable, but it was logically it, so I put a charger to it, and hit the trunk open on remote! BINGO. Thanks for putting this put there, it's really not obvious or easy to find on this model. Cheers!

Thanks, for the very informative video. I have a similar W211. But it's only today, that I have learnt about the fuse box & jump start points in the engine bay!!😊
@smelmybut Жыл бұрын
I have a w211 eClass wagon. There isn't a key hole to open the trunk - so if you find yourself locked out of your trunk and your battery is dead just go into the car, climb over the back seat - there will be a latch located on the inside of the trunk door. Pull the release and the trunk door will open👍. Just be mindful that you will need to prop the trunk open because it will slowly close and lock on you since no juice (electricity) is holding it up. Keep it propped open untill you've changed or charged your large battery located in trunk under panel on right side of spare tire.👍

And which one is needed for the car startup thanks for your answer
@druztalks36512 жыл бұрын
The one in the boot is the main battery. The one in the front is the auxiliary battery. The one in the boot is the one that starts the engine. The one in the front does things like the radio etc. I'd change both
@chrisk6791 Жыл бұрын
So, can you actually connect onto there to jump start the car without frying the fusebox? Or is this just to get power to the locks to open the boot to access the battery? I've had to jump start mine before, and as you say, with the boot locked it's a real pain. If this works to jump start the car, this is fantastic. thank you.

I’m going to try this but I’m scared. Since my radio isn’t working also do you think it may be my auxiliary battery? The radio stopped working about 1 1/2 months ago. Is there a safe way to charge my auxiliary battery?
@druztalks36512 жыл бұрын
Best way is if the aux battery has died is to change it.its very simple. This is basically a way to jump.start the car if you can't open the boot/trunk
@allaboutcross42022 жыл бұрын
So it the auxiliary battery MUST be replaced if the battery is dead. I think the auxiliary battery is dead because the radio no longer works. And I can’t get the jumper cable positive on the fuse box because the clamp won’t stay clamped. Again, if my auxiliary battery is dead I have to replace it? I just had it replaced last May.

@@allaboutcross4202 the radio may no longer work if the fuse has gone. The auxiliary batteries are notorious for dying in these cars because they seem to hide any problems the main battery has. This sounds like a bigger problem than a jump start.

Turned the key and the radio and lights came on but the car wouldn’t start it just clicked. As soon as the battery jumper was disconnected everything went back off.
