Help w/ Electrical Problem

[Stroked & Blown]

Haven't driven the box in a couple weeks, and when I went out to open it this morning the battery was dead.

Tonight I did the emergency hood release trick....which was a lot of fun, btw....and charged up the battery.

Problem is, the batt is now reading > 12V across the terminals, but I can't open the door & the light in the front trunk is still off.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what to look at?

Something to note: I disconnected the radio, hvac controls, & dash switches a few weeks ago, but have driven it since. All of the connectors appear to be hanging out the front of the dash and don't look like they're shorting/crossing.
