Can someone please help me!
I just bought a 2014 Audi A4 s line that was in a small accident when the car was picked up at the auction site the dash board lights turned on but didn’t start and now there is no current what so ever. No airbags were diploid but the seat belts in the rear did tighten up so i’m thinking a crash safety mechanism went off which is on the battery but I can’t get the trunk open. I tried to jump starting it from the front but nothing. Also the rear seats don’t fold. If anyone can give me some advice that would help.

How serious was this little accident. Seems like something was triggered to shut the car down. My advice would be to take it to the dealer. I wouldn't have accepted the car based on damage done at the auction. Have you contacted them to put in a claim.

If it's a US Premium trim, they don't fold down (cost cutting measure starting with 2011). Are you saying they should fold down but don't? Are the latches on the top of the rear seat backs stuck?

Heh, if all you have is a ski pass through, good luck.

I see someone posted the procedure in the other thread you replicated this question in. Probably from somewhere in your owner's manual.

Yeah I just looked in the manual I guess there’s a emergency Handel under the bottom portion of the rear seats for models with the fixed seats. Now to figure out how to get under there.

The rear seat bottom comes off easily. But if I remember when looking at this, you don't have to remove the seat, just pull up on the front of it to get to the handle. That said, the seat is held along the front by just two points. Just grab under the front of the left side and pull up hard.

Ok I was able to get the trunk open and I changed the sensor and I hooked the battery to some jumper cables and now when I insert the battery all the lights turn on but when I try to start it just makes clicking sounds it doesn’t even turn or anything. Any advice? When i disconnect the jumper cables everything turns off again so do you think it’s just that I need a new battery?
