On a 2017 LaCrosse getting into the trunk to access a dead or disconnected battery is more complicated than you guys think.

The battery for a 2017 is in the trunk not in the engine compartment, and TTT says he has it disconnected.

There is no easy way to open the trunk lid from outside without power.

On a 2017 the fold down seat backs are released only from inside the trunk not from inside the car like the earlier models.

There is a manual emergency trunk release inside the trunk but you cant get to it unless you are already in the trunk.

The only solution I see is to use the manual key to get in the car if it is locked, then open the hood and connect a good battery to the remote terminals in the engine compartment (as 1arnold1 suggested) to enable opening the trunk. Connect the battery that is in the trunk to start the car or jump start it if the battery is dead.

I'm curious if TTT solved his problem in a different way.

I'm so glad that someone validated me! I need in the trunk.... the site of the dead battery. But i can't get in the trunk BECAUSE OF the (you guessed it) dead battery. MAKE IT MAKE SENSE!!!!

Read the post by Human... #58.
If you still can't figure it out after that, I guess you're S.O.L..

I am trying to figure out what is the major issue people are complaining about here? So your battery dies... What is in the trunk that's so important that you have to get to right now, before you go buy a replacement battery for the car? Bought some milk from the market that's going bad? Are your tools in the trunk and you can't change the battery unless you have them? WTF? I would rather climb through the back seat and pull the emergency realise cord before I want a key lock cylinder on the back of my car like it's 1987 all over again. I could see if you couldn't get into the car period, but the trunk? Who the frick cares?

That's where the battery is, look closer at the post!
