with a '97 which has manual f/trunk levers you can slide a very thin screwdriver b/w the levers and rotate the locking pin (white) to side releasing the levers...

Otherwise
- try charging battery thru one of the cig lighter ports
- use emergency release cable (check to see if routed to tow hook if not orig owner)

Good luck

hook up a charged battery to a cigarette lighter plug. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO START THE CAR. allow it to charge the system for a few hours. when the system is charged well enough to unlock the doors using the fob buttons pop the release. you will have charged the system through the fused circuit, so if you were to attempt to start it, it will pop the lighter fuse.
