Thanks, using the battery did the trick. I feel like a knucklehead.

Thanks for the info. I did hook my battery charger up like you state above. No luck. I think because there is no connection in the trunk the circuit is not made.

I cannot open my trunk. to install new battery. While replacing 12V Battery, my trunk was shut with no battery connected. I can not see the manual release either 1 it broken or 2. due to the small access due to the hybrid battery pack taking up so much space. Is there a way to open the trunk. I was thinking maybe an alternate power source. Or get it towed to a dealer and pay an arm and a leg. Any help is greatly appreciated.
