Port Engine and Engine Hatch

[sanjiv]

On my 2006 340 SDA, I mistakenly left AC converter off and cabin refrigerator on, draining port battery complete. After a week or so I started the AC Converter on and the lights on port battery switch came on but the port engine won't start. I left it on for couple of weeks but to no avail. Now I can not open the engine hatch either. Is there a breaker somewhere that I need to reset? Any other ideas.

Thank you.

did you try to turn both ignitions and hit the emergency parrellel button and try to open hatch then. also If that didn't work I think on that boat you can plug in power to your cigarette lighter at the dash and try to raise hatch that way. another thing check under dash there is a black box that has white breakers with rubber caps on them. one might be for the engine hatch ( not sure if it is on that box or in the bilge).

I was told I could do the cigarette lighter/12V supply trick as well if I had to get the hatch open on our 330DA. Have never had occassion (yet) to have to try it.

sometimes you can hook power up to the EIM box under the dash. on the side of it , it will have a positive and a negative terminals. you can try to hook power to there also. don't remember if it will work but its a try. It won't damage anything.

Thank you for all your responses. I was able to start the port engine using emergency switch. The water pump and hatch still won't work, I checked the fuses with white rubber caps none of them is popped up (not sure if they do or not). Next thing I am going to try is open the engine hatch using power pack connected to EIM under the steering wheel. ANy other thoughts?
