Unlock trunk

[bosalls5]

I locked my 99 / 911 with the remote key. The car had been sitting and the battery is now dead. I used the key to unlock the door manually but the trunk remains locked. I'm trying to find another way to unlock the trunk to get to the battery..............help!

If you pull the fuse panel located by your left foot, you will see the spot where you apply 12v to pop the trunk.

I called the dealer and they said basically the same thing. They recommended pulling the fuse at C3 (row C, 3rd from the left) inserting a wire jumper. Connect a 12v power source to the wire and ground to the frame. This would activate the security system to release the trunk. Would a battery charger be a suitable 12v source? Are we talking about the same spot / fuse? Another way is to pull the passenger wheel and loosen the inner fender and behind the head light is a manual pull ring to release the trunk. Your suggestion looks like the quickest route. Thanks Bob A
