My 99 has levers for the frunk so thought the dead battery issue of getting to the frunk was a non issue for me, but I was wrong.  There is an actuator that keeps you from popping it also.  I had some extra wires handy, so this fix attached is what I did and only took me a few minutes to get access to the battery.  The trick is making sure the wire makes contact to both poles of that fuse fully.  At first I thought it was not going to work, but took a large screwdriver pushing in to do the trick, using the fuse did not work.
