Dead battery - How to get trunk open?
#41
Bigger issue now is the EPB is on after trying the switch...but won't release. If I pull up on the EPB switch, I can hear the EPB system energize and the "PARK" light comes up on the instrument cluster, when I push down on the EPB Switch nothing happens. I'm guessing the ignition needs to be on to release it electrically. If I have to have this thing towed, it's going to have to be pulled out of the garage with the parking brake on. The car is also nestled close to a wall on the passenger side which limits what I might be able to do with wheel dolly. I'm still trying to get into the trunk to disconnect the battery and get this all to reset.

Nothing wrong with your battery, then. Something wrong with one of your control modules, or a major fuse blew. In an older car, I would say a fusible link fried. Not certain in the case of the F-Type. I believe there is a fuse box under the hood on the left side of the firewall. I’m 1000 miles from my car and shop manual computer now, so I can’t offer additional guidance until Monday.
Thanks for the help!
