I had to disconnect the negative terminal on the battery so that I could remove the steering wheel. Unbeknownst to me I shut the trunk and when I was done I tried to open the trunk to no avail.

I went and purchased a jump start unit, plugged it to the posts under the hood. This gave me enough power to open the trunk. I don’t know if this will work with both battery posts removed or not.

Lesson learned that DO NOT close the trunk once the battery is disconnected! I have attached a photo of the jump start unit I got at Harbor Freight.

Hope this helps anyone in the future!
