Your '02 has a cable behind the fuse panel, inside the car?

Didn't know that. I was told that I didn't have the emergency cable under the front fender. I didn't know about the cable under the fuse box.

If you have an 02 it's under the passenger headlight in the fender well. The other option for the electronic release is as Maytag said, there is a jumper in the fuse box to run 12v power to pop the hood/bonnet.

Well, no. Let’s be clearer.
There’s the emergency release cable under the passenger (right side) headlight. My ‘02 has one (all do I think). Earlier cars with mechanical levers (not electric switches) to release front and rear trunks will have physical cables connecting to the latches. Never dug around behind the fuse box, but I imagine that’s what the above are referring to: a way to “intercept” the front pull cable if it is broken or disconnected from the handle.
A handy tip.

Right. That's why I quoted your post. You were (as near as I could determine) replying to a question about the cable behind the fuse box, and affirming that your car has one. But what I THOUGHT you meant, was the cable behind the headlight.

Glad you clarified for any future readers who may think that they can dig-around behind the fusebox on their '02 and find a cable to pull: CAN'T ! :-)
