RF wheel off. Hopefully the wheellock key is not in the trunk. If it is, it's just a lot more snug.
Unbolt the rf innner fender liner, and up in there, by the headlight, you'll see a small braided cable. Snag it with a bent up coathanger, grab and pull slowly out toward the right. Front trunklid should pop.

Good luck.

wross is so right, I was assuming you've got more than a dead battery....

Try the jump first to the accessory post in the fusebox by your left foot.
