dead battery, how can i open the doors?
Hello,
I have a 1990 100 quattro with a dead battery. Does anyone know which tool will work to get the door open?
I searched the forum, but found nothing relevant.
Thanks in advance.

Your key is "supposed" to open the door without power, but...
Your car is broken, so this isn't going to work.
Jack the car up, with jackstands.
Find the positive starter to battery cable, heavy guage wire, with a boot protecting it on starter.
Hook jumper cable up to here (red for positive)
Find a good ground for the black (negative end)
Hook the other end of the cables to a good battery.
Unlock doors.
Remove door panels.
Fix busted locks.
Replace door panels.

Yes, the driver's door lock is broken. I've been using the passenger door to unlock the car. I'll jack the car up and connect a charger to the battery~starter main as suggested.
Thanks.
Thanks.
