trunk release anywhere in a 1996 XJS..I bought the car last fall, the battery trickler did not work properly and battery went dead. I can get into the car, but not the trunk--where the battery is! Anybody know what to do? I've tried jump starting the car under the hood, but the keys still won't work in the trunk lock. Thx

Have run the battery down many times leaving lights on after going thru BAl Harbor tuinnel in my working days. Use a plug thru the 12V cigarette lighter to charge the battery enough to activate the electric trunkl luck release.
