Putting an Auto into Neutral with a dead battery.

Post by crosso »

Flat battery, alarm drained it over the 2 weeks that I couldn't drive, shoulder injury.
Anyway it's in a spot where I can't get another car close to it to jump, and I'm not sure how to go about putting it into neutral since it won't start. From my understanding there should be a manual over ride somewhere under the shift selector?

Does anyone have any idea what it looks like or if this is the case with an FTO?
Thanks

Ignition has to be on as well. With ignition on and foot on brake should change. If not, you have a different problem
