2002-2005 Battery Dead How do I open trunk

[Surf Beat]

A few days ago I ordered an accessory 12v adapter that I can use on my Deltran Tender to connect to a power outlet on the dash. It’s an accessory that substitutes for the standard battery cables I found on eBay for $12.

In my opinion that procedure seems like a safer way to go then using a battery booster directly through the power outlet on the dash. I say that because I am concerned a battery booster “may” burn up some wires, thus making my problem worst.

I am presuming the reason my battery died was either my Tender is defective or one of the cables popped off one of the battery posts.

On a side note I read that in 2001 the government mandated that all vehicles manufactured AFTER 2002 are required to have an emergency fluorescent pull latch installed in the trunk that can be easily found by the wife in the event she finds herself locked inside the trunk and can’t get out. Gotta have a tad of levity for this post.

Unfortunately, my Burd is a 2002. However, I also read Ford has been putting an emergency latch in vehicles since 1997, so if all fails, maybe I can find that latch in in the trunk.

If any of you guys or gals have the time to look inside your trunk for that emergency plastic latch, which should be easily accessible, let us know .

The emergency release is usually located next to the trunk latch.
