1994 C280 Mercedes took out the battery and shut the trunk now i can't open the trunk

I needed to replace the battery in my 94' C280 Mercedes. Opened up the trunk just fine with the key and got the battery out then shut the trunk. Went to replace the battery, tried to open it with the key and could not get back in the trunk. Is there a button or latch to manually open the trunk?

Yes but you must remove the rear seat back and cushion to crawl through or power up the system from under the hood at the jumper cable hook ups.

There should be a positive charging post under the hood. Hook up jumper cables to this post for positive and the engine for ground. Then get in the car and pop the trunk with the trunk release button.

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

How can I open my trunk if I took the battery out and left my key inside of my 99 Mercedes c280 trunk,

If you can open the hood, there is a battery pos(+) jump post in or near fuse box. Hook up a jumper box or jumper cables to power up the vehicle systems.

Try using a battery jump box with a cigarette lighter adapter, plug it in to the cig. lighter, you might be able to get power to some of the fuse box to use door lock switches or trunk release button .

1994 C280 - trunk locked and can't get to battery to charge. Is there a positive terminal under hood that I can use to charge the battery? If yes, where is it located? Thanks.

The terminal from battery to starter motor is positive and should be rachable from under the car. If there is a belly plate for the engine you can remove it from under and charge your battery that way.
