I'm sure this has been gone over many times, but I couldn't find any exact instructions on how to get enough juice to be able to pop the front hood so I can access my dead battery.

I looked through the fuse assignments and couldn't find any mention of the hood/trunk releases. There were three fuses related to security - with those, I stuck a penny into the fuse slote and then touched the positive terminal from a jumper cable attached to another, good car battery. No juice got through in all three cases.

I'm really not excited about removing the front wheel and then well to pull the cable - that's a bit out of my league.

Is it possible to get some juice through another car battery, through a penny stuck in the fuse slot, to pop the front hood? And if so, which fuse is it?

Many thanks,
