so I am new here  and have only a new charger but all kinds of chrysler products  

2003 Ram 3500 cummins
62 chrysler 300H 4door
50 chrysler Imperial
and a 2014 Charger  R/T

The 50 is apart and was tweaked prior to me.  Someone went through the effot to make it a unibody  

The 62 is almost back together

My 2003 Ram is the 5th one I have owned,  a 93 a 97 a 98 and 2X 2003's    I love them dearly  all diesels   the 93 hit 1.2 million miles the 97 had 500K when I sold it  the 98 still hasnt touched 100K (Its now my uncles) 1 03 has 188K the other has 206K

I picked up the charger R/T this year as a dealer demo 2014, so it was considered used.   10K miles all options and got it for just under 30K

Question I have on it, as the manual does not tell you haw and google does not tell me a clear way either.
with the push to start and all those options  no touch entry and all that, if the battery dies, how do i get in to open hood or trunk to jump it??

1st of all welcome to the forum.  As an FYI this forum is related to the early Chargers, for the most part 66-74 if I recall. A couple of forums that cover the new Chargers are http://www.lxforums.com/board/, I belong, or http://www.chargerforumz.com/. A couple of good ones.

As for your access to the trunk with the battery dead, 2 ways. Either remove the rear seat to try to get to the trunk release or jump the vehicle, see your manual, at the power center under the hood. This should give you power to be able to use the key fob or button release located on the dash, see manual for opening trunk procedures. A pain but the only ways I know of.

The manual should say. Most of the time there's a key hidden in the fob and a key hole in the driver's door.

See page 11 of the manual:

If the key fob battery is dead you can place the end opposite the hidden key against the "start" button and it will start the car.

Welcome and it'd be nice to see you stick around.  Although the accent is on 66-74 it isn't exclusive of the others by any means.

I used to work for AAA Roadside and did lockouts, jump starts, tire changes & fuel delivery.

I once did a newer Charger. Member had key fob in hand but could not start his car due to the car's dead battery. Member knew that the battery was in the trunk but could not open it using the key fob from the car's battery being dead. Member had the jumper cables with another vehicle to do the jump start and was trying to avoid using his AAA membership service calls allowance. There were two ways around this to avoid calling us out. 1) As Troy said take the key fob and open the tiny compartment where a key shaft slides out to open the trunk manually. The trunk key tumbler his sort of hidden and you have to look closely to find it. Open the trunk and now you have access to the battery. 2) Or the much easier way as draftingmonkey said open the hood and find the +/- auxiliary terminals. In most cases the - terminal is just grounding somewhere under the hood, usually the shock towers. The + terminal is usually marked with a red + sign with a plastic cover. Connect your power leads and now you have power to activate the key fob devices.

You do enough of these cars out there and you learn a lot. You learn as you go and as newer technology applies.

Its a unique monster.     Its a 72 polara with a monico dash, and a 5.9 Magnum full fuel injected motor and auto trans with the ECU and it all works.   He said 3500 obo
