2004 Toyota rav4 battery dead. Cant get car in nuetral to back out of garage to jump. Key is on position, shifter won't move

SOURCE: Battery Dead - How can I get the vehicle into neutral

i hate to say it, but you are gonna have to open the hood in the confined area and try to work with the area you have or call in whatever autoclub you use / the dealer and make it their problem.

actually you can buy a jump box that plugs into your cig. lighter and jump it that way. my jump box has the set up to do it that way. but check your owners manual to see if the car will accept that without damage.

Look under the boot handle near the number plate light and you'll see a hole where you can use your key to open the boot.

Just had the same problem.

The fact the key had not been used in many years the locking mechanism was basically stiff'

Applied copious amounts of wd40 kept turning the key back and forward while applying pressure and release to the boot lid did the trick

You should have a little slot, right next to your shifter it maybe covered up, but you can just pop it off with a flat head screwdriver...It should be somewhere by the (P) for park..Once you get that off, you should be able to stick a key or a skinny object in there, and push down on the button..which is a shift lock release button...Once you push that down, you can remove the shifter out of park....Now as far as your hood not opening...what happen did you break the cable? But you can go under the hood, from beneath the car, and pop the latch..It's a little difficult, but it's doauble....Goodluck...
