Default Trunk help

I woke up this morning to my mom frantic and screaming that her bathroom was flooding. I jump out of bed and run over to see that the bolt holding her toilet tank to the bowl was loose, so i hand tighten it and go downstairs to get my ratchet set outta the car. Hit the trunk relase *click click* nothing, **** battery is dead. Oh well, go inside to get the battery jumper and then realise AW **** my battery is in the trunk! Anyone know how to get into the trunk?

lol, you must have the valet key if it doesn't work on the trunk.

with a remote setup you can leave terminals in the engine bay for this reason so you can jump from the bay.
the power wire for the battery must come up into the engine bay where it connects to the original terminals wires. maybe you can jump it from there.

It's clearly labeled (+) in the fuse box in the engine bay, and you can just use chassis ground (find a clean spot) for (-). Remeber, it isn't like you need maximum amperage...you don't have to start the car, you just need enough power to pop the trunk solenoid.
