maq Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Battery had died on my Velfire, took it out to charge but then boot got locked. I can open other doors with key but other issue is that I have a bed loaded at the back, so can't access battery area from side doors. Really need to open the boot door somehow. Would be grateful for any advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rojie Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Regarding The Gen 1. Cuttothechase on youtube has a fix for early Gen 1 machines. Just remove the negative battery terminal, wait a couple of minutes, and reconnect battery. Battery does need to fully functional. Boot lock should be reset. I have not tried this myself. Fortunately, to date, I have not needed to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
