Steve et. al.: In the process of prepping my L for resale, donation, etc. I tried to open the trunk using the dash button. Not suprsingly, the solenoid didn't "kick" as the car has been sitting for a month or so and driven very sparingly over the last 4 months.
To add insult to injury, the master key broke over a year ago and I have been using the velet key only. So, I can't unlock the trunk with the key.
Finally, I tried to fit my long jumper cables onto the positive lead located on the false fire wall. No dice, I can't even get the clips to fit into the space. Too tight.
I also tried a portable jumper battery but had the same fit problem.
Is there an emergency trunk latch release inside the trunk itself? I saw no mention of it in the owners manual.
Any other ideas?
