Open the hood and look on the passenger rear of the engine compartment. There should be a thick black cable with a rubber boot on the end. That is a power cable. Take the red positive lead of a jumper or charger and hook it to the buy under the rubber boot. Then take the black lead of your charger and put it to the body. Then you can open the trunk electrically.
