[Shop-talk] Dead battery question (John T. Blair)

[Mark Miller]

Your car has a 'don't leave park' override.  Manual page 316 explains 
it. and a vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwNrCbvCxB0

And: your aux plug only works with the car turned on; not sure if just 
having the switch on is sufficient or if there needs to be battery power 
available.  But if the charging box works and has any juice it should 
easily be enough juice to operate anything.
