C6 locked out
Help! I have a C6. My battery is dead and alternator needs to be replaced. My trunk latch is broken. The shop I use told me I need to wire up to the starter from under the car to give enough juice for the key fob to come in and unlock the doors. But I have been trying for two days and it doesn’t seem to get enough juice or I’m not doing it right. Can anybody help. I’m moving in three days and have to get it in a tow truck but it’s stuck in my garage until I can get in it.
I NEED HELP 😭

Welcome to the forum. Sorry to hear about your issue.
Hooking up booster cables + red to the positive starter post, and the - black to the frame and hooked with the same polarity to a fully charged battery should of given you enough juice for the FOB to open the door.
The other option is to get a towing service to come out with an air bladder that seperates the side window just enough from the weatherstripping to get a hook in there to lift the manual door latch near the floor, until it opens the door.
Good Luck
