Battery Unhooked, trunk closed...amateur hr.
Messed up.... unhooked the battery from the busbar in the trunk searching for another issue (no start)... Found a bad mega fuse, great... Until I let the truck lid close (1st Latch, not 100% closed). Any ideas on getting back into the trunk? I can't do the typical hook up with jump point and let the battery charge for two reasons.. First bein the battery is not hooked to the main (+) busbar in the trunk, and ever worse the front jump point is also not hooked to that same busbar because the fuse is blown. I don't know of any other way to supply power to that busbar I can access from the outside? But I can't be the only person who has done this...

Crowbar?
Seriously though, have you tried raising the trunk lid manually?
You never know the first latch/catch might release or maybe you can poke a screwdriver in there to release it, and pull the lid up by hand.
I know I can raise or lower the hatch on my coupe manually even though it has the power operation option.

I forget....you have a vert or a coupe? Any way of snagging the emergency release with a long hook from inside the cabin?

Good idea, going to try this later today with some of the other main (+) leads to the front fuse boxes. Could work in theory!

So this is on my list of options also, I do have an emergency release on the rear face of the trunk next to the Latch area but I will be completely blind tryin to hook on to it. Still better then a crowbar.

Why did your fusible link fail?

Sorry to revive this old thread; went to the known issues sticky, could not find a write-up. I need to power the trunk release and I was hoping to get some more details or pictures on what exactly needs to be powered and where a good ground would be. I see that this is a fuse panel, appears to be driver side (USA). In this pic is the red lead (not jumper) connected for ground?
