This worked! Finally had chance to do it on the weekend. Was a little worried, because I really don't know what I'm doing, but found a pdf with steps and pictures and it was very easy. Lifted the back seat off with two levers that slide towards the driver's side, lifted a sytrofoam enclosure...

I tried using a 9V and couldn't get it to open, though the 9V I used was new, the package was fairly old. At that point, I was pretty sure I needed a new battery anyways, so just bought the 12V from Cdn Tire. Because the HV system was faulting, it was only to get the car open, so I could...
