Turnk Will Not Open - Battery May Be Dead - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

The 92 does not have that terminal, the trunk should open with the key by trurning it 90 degrees and then pushing the button. Oherwise a trickle charger thru the lighter, but the key must be on. The other options would be to lift the passenger side front carpet and find the large battery cable from the trunk. If all that fails a little bit of pressure on the line coming from the locking pump from a bike pump.

Thanks Peter! Turning the key is not working. I am going to try the trickle charger through the lighter first. I should only need enough charge to build the vacuum back up and then the trunk should release.

Received some local advise from a MB Motor. Bud suggested that I use the key, turn it to the left little by little. After the 3rd try the trunk popped open. I tightened down the battery down really good and she fited right up. Thanks for all the suggestions.

A shout-out to Bud and MB Motor, you are the best!!!
