Okay thi is EFFING STUPID!. My battery is dead and jumping does nothing. I can not work on ANYthing because my tools are in the trunk! I did a search and cam up with zero. Are you telling me there is NO way to open the trunk lid from inside??? That should be illegal!

yes there is
theres a little round piece of plastic you release from inside the boot and then theres a little silver lever you slide across.

i'm assuming your car door is open so you can get into the boot via the back seats?

if it isnt open you can remove the plastic trim next to the drivers door handle and insert a key there to unlock the door,climb into the back and away you go

It should be in your owner's manual.

If the car will not start with cables, there is a problem.....or the cables are bad.
