Im STUCK!!!

So I have a very odd problem. My battery died. Also my car has two keys one for doors and one for ignition. I just found out none of the keys work on the trunk and i have a trunk mounted battery. I am also missing the 12v socket in the car.
So I was wondering if there are any points under the hood that I can use to jump the car so I can open the trunk and replace the battery?

you can jump the car from the junction block under the hood where the battery is on the verts, passenger side firewall. Ground it on the strut tower.

So your trunk is locked? Your door key should fit it. If it doesn't just unlock the doors and it should unlock the trunk. But there are no stock jump points in the hood like what would be found on the e36 and later cars. You could try hooking up the positive to the positive on your starter and just ground it on your block but this could burn out your starter, so I wouldn't try this unless it become absolutely necessary. If all else roll start it.

Oh I forgot about the mount in the fire wall. Try this first.

Well the key opens the doors, but since there is no power it will not open the trunk, I will try the firewall mount tomorrow.

hook up a jumper to the engine bay + and -
Turn your key in the door and it will unlock your trunk, Im assuming you know how to ninja your way into the hood =)

If the key opens the trunk, charge the fucking battery!
