With the charger unplugged. connect the pos(+) cable on the charger to the pos(+) battery terminal. then connect the neg(-) cable on the charger to the vehicle's chassis. pick a spot that is unpainted like the head of a bolt. then plug in your charger.

Car won't start, battery dead. manual and battery locked in trunk. I know to use manual key to unlock but where is the hot point under the hood to hook up battery charger on a 2005 s430? Also, are there...

Call someone in service dept at a mbz dealership. They can input your cars vin number and tell you if that car has battery connections under the hood. My 2000 s430 doesnt have any under the hood.

Radio so ( LOC ) and will not play and the control on the streeing wheel will not work

This means the incorrect code has been entered more than three times, you need to find the code it will be on a card in the glove box with the owners manual, if you dont have it then radio must be removed and serail # written down and call dealer, also you are locked out of radio you now need to leave the radio on with the key on for a straight hour you may need to hook battery charger to keep battery from going dead.after about an hour you will see the word code displayed you can now enter the code follow directions in manual to enter the code useing the right buttons.

Where do you hook a battery charger

Under the backseat to hook directly to the battery. or under the hood hot to the fuse box should be a red cover with a + on it, ground to the exhaust.

Charge battery

Do you have a battery charger? If you do, connect the red(positive) clamp on the charger (+) to the Positive (+) battery post. Then connect the black(negative) clamp on the charger (--) to the (--)(negative) battery post. Make sure these are hooked up this way, if they aren't, you can damage the car's charging system (big bucks to fix). When you are sure the charger is connected to the battery properly, plug the charger in. It would be best to let it charge overnight. You must then find out why the battery went dead, otherwise, when you go out someplace and turn the car off, you may not be able to start it up again. If it's the original battery it's time to get a new one. You can drive to a major parts store, they will check the battery and car's charging system to see what's wrong for free.Good Luck countrycurt0
