Went a couple of weeks without driving the Spyder and the battery's dead.
Problems:
1. the battery's in the trunk
2. the key opener and the glove box opener won't work without electricity
3. none of the keys provided will open the trunk.
I purchased a NiCad "recharger" that purports to be able to recharge the battery through the cigarette lighter, but so far it hasn't worked. The instructions for this device mention the possibility of the car alarm system preventing recharging, and suggests putting the alarm in "valet mode" or turning it off.
Unfortunately the owner's manual is in the trunk, did I mention the trunk is locked...
Calling the roadside assistance program it seems the only option is to wait til Monday and trailer to the dealer.
Does anyone have a suggestion for opening the trunk or disabling the alarm?
thanks
