Help- I disconnected the battery to do body work on the doors (rust) assuming there was a mechanical method (key) to re-open trunk lid like on my E320. NOT! Tried the push button in the license plate opening with the key to no avail. Whats the trick?

In the engine compartment there is a pos and neg terminal, connect a battery to these with jumper leads.

Hey, Diesel Benz, pics of the Positive and neg connectors? I am at home now and no access to WIS.

The power point connector is about 3/4 of an inch tall, nut and as you face the engine the point is rear left and usually has a red plastic cover with a + on it, but if you cannot find this, then go under the car, rear of engine, passengers side and follow the starter lead from the starter to the fire wall and you can connect pos to that point.
