2001 V8. My car magically died this morning. No lights, no crank, no nothing. As if the engine and battery are missing.
Here is the rub. What fuuckin' idiot designed this car with NO access to the battery. The in-dash trunk release doesn't work if the car is dead, there is no external key hole. I don't have a electronic key Fob (which I don't think would work anyway with no power.) and stupid back seat release is in the trunk!
I tried to check the alternator just to cover all my bases, but I'll be damned if I can even find it in the engine compartment.
Any ideas, I have a sawzall in my house. In fact, with my day off tomorrow, I am going to sawzall the plastic panel behind the fold-down arm rest. So I can gain access if this ever happens again. I'm stuck here at home, No way I'm going through this stranded on the highway or somewhere.
