Mercedes A Class 2008 - Flat battery, emergency key will not turn lock #

Posted by Paul Howd on January 26, 2016, 9:11 am

Year of Manufacture *: 2008

Battery flat, emergency key will not turn lock.

I haven't looked yet, but would anybody know if the starter terminals are accessible from underneath the car?

(Given that cars today are so dependent on electrical supply, it would be nice if there was some way of plugging an external 12v supply into a car with a flat battery from the outside without having to gain access to it first! )

Hello Paul,
You will have to jack up or raise the vehicle then remove the plastic under covers to gain access.

You will struggle(almost impossible) to get onto the starter ,but you may just get onto the back of alternator after removing the engine under tray.

Do these not have a key lock in the boot lid anywhere. I remember having an issue with an older E class and the only way I got access was via the boot lid.

just a suggestion really.
