My mum's car has been sitting outside in Canadian winter for a few months. There is not enough charge in battery to start car (but remote unlocking works). The hood release won't work. Thought it was frozen, but we had a good thaw today, and I threw a few buckets of hot water over hood, into the grille and still no joy.
My question is, is it possible to get a trickle charger to work through the cigarette lighter on this car? It is a 97.
Thanks for any info! You guys helped me in the past with my 95 Taurus problems. Now I have a 2007 Fusion, which I hope will not give me any troubles for a few years!
