You may have to use the emergency release cable to get it open.

It is located in the front passenger wheel well. If you can remove the front couple of pins (about 2 o'clock position), you should be able to peal back the liner to get to it. It's a steel look located aft to the headlight tray.

BTW: if you ever remove the front bumper cover, it's a great time to relocated the cable so you can access it through the tow hook hole.

Thom - would you be able to expand on this? Maybe link to video/pictures if possible. I'm not sure I know what you're talking about.

Hook up a 12v battery instead of a charger. You are likely don't have enough amperage to actuate the latch solenoid.
