Battery disconnected access to trunk?

[Jon D]

If I take out the battery will the key lock still work so I can put it back? Thinking of pulling battery for storage rather than leaving it in on a battery tender.

yes, absolutely - it's mechanical.

Thanks just making sure. That's what I thought

I was afraid to try, too... Can confirm it'll still open, though!

Take a look at this. Leave the battery right where it's at, just turn the switch to disconnect the battery. :cheers

Blue Seas makes great products been using for years. Was not thinking of installing anything.. just figured easy to disconnect and pull i have no real need to isolate the battery regularly. Only if/when putting the car in storage and unfortunately my garage outlets are on a GFI circuit that triggers for no reason every so often so a tender in the garage is not reliable.
