...how do I open the hatchback or liftgate on my 2008 Viper coupe if the battery is dead or out of the car? Is there a emergency latch somewhere or...? Someone must know this answer...thanks, Mike
This may be a dumb question but...

Just unlock it with your key. I never actually looked so I went and unlocked mine with the key.

Hey jonhiew398...I was afraid it was going to be a dumb question. Thanks for the straight answer. It's funny how the answer is right in front of you but you don't see it.

Don't feel bad about it.
I would have bet there was not a key entry for the trunk.
Sho nuf. It is there. LOL
You do know about the hidden key entry for the driver side door, right?
I lost my keys, but had a key without a remote stashed under the hood.
A teenager in a WalMart parking lot showed me that one.
*Note to self - I need to get that manual.

Yep...the sad part is that I had just cleaned the area around the license plate and of course, the key cylinder is right next to it but in my panic, I didn't think about it. Also, after I had unhooked the battery cables in preparation for removing the battery, I needed to open the door with the hidden lock on the drivers door and the window interfered with the roof of the car. I then had to reconnect the battery in order to get the window to work properly so I could shut the door. Then I disconnected the cables again and removed the battery. That's why I go to the forums to ask questions because someone before me most likely had experienced the situation and I don't have to reinvent the wheel so to speak. Thanks for you comments. Mike

Never a dumb question, just an educational answer.

So where is the secret drivers door key entry?

And it turns rather hard. You will think it might break but put some pressure on it and the door should pop open.
