pop the hood thru the bottom if possible or call around and ask from prices on windows and break the cheapest one.


but try poppin the hood of it before u break anything

 

[trickedout65]

get a car and a set of jumper cables hook the + to the the + on the starter and hook the - to the frame or some other metal spot DONT BREAK ANYTHING!!!!!!!

itll get power goin tho?

 

[corndawg]

dont think it will get power, itll just turn it over. ive got a jump wire with a push button going to my starter. it will turn it over weather the key is on or not, but it wont make the radio or anything come on unless the key is on. by just hooking up up the starter you are jumping all other electrical systems and you will only be getting power to the starter and no other parts, maybe if you turn the motor over enough the alternator will charge enough for you to pop the door, but i kinna doubt thatll happen :dunno:

 

[corndawg]

just a thought, but do your wires to the door solenoids run on the underside of the car? if so if you could just cut and strip the hotwire on the solenoid side and simply hit it with a hotwire from a bat from another car

I would think that should work because your giving the fuse box juice so the doors should work.

 

[83caddyhopper]

just add a key hole back to one door, your done

That cable is tied directly to the battery, that's the point of the battery cable. So yes, it will provide power to the rest of the system if he hooks jumper cables to the + on the starter and - on the block. It doesn't TURN the starter until you provide 12V on the S terminal of the solenoid...thats how they work. The door poopers are wired directly to the battery...think about it..if they weren't he'd have to have the ignition on to pop the doors...

i agree



and when the starter gets the power u press the button for the popper to pop and open ur door and then open ur window and open the hood and charge ur battery

and leave the window open so u wont get locked out when ur charging the battery or when u remove the battery

 

[smokinowboy]

ok I will definatly try all these suggestions, let me ask a question, if I have an extra battery hook the jumper cables up to battery....ground the other side to the block and tap the wire going to the popper, will that work?

 

[smokinowboy]

I meant tap the wire going to the popper with the positive battery cable.

how can you get to the wire if the door is closed? I thought the purpose of this was to get the door open in the first place? Are your wires just hanging out everywhere?

 

[smokinowboy]

maybe I didn't explain it right, I have a toggle switch to open the car doors....since my battery is dead the toggle switch doesn't work......I can see the toggle switch and pull it out enough to see the wires so I was wondering if I took a spare battery and jumper cables could I put power to one of the toggle switch wires and would that pop the door?

 

[Joker808]

best way to to crawl under the car and pop the hood open...and get a hidden cable to manualy release the lock

yea, but if you had power going to the doors the toggle switch would work. put your jumpers on the starter and pop them open.

what he said. but if he has a toggle switch, he doesnt need to hook it up to the starter.
