I had to jumpstart the car to start it. After running for about 5 minutes at idle, it died. I tried to restart but nothing - completely dead. I had the battery checked and it was bad. Now I cannot open the front trunk to install the new battery. I have used a jump starter from Pep Boys to hook up to the fuse box to open the hood, but there is no dash lights and front trunk doesn't open. Is there a master fuse in the 911 that is needs to be replaced? Any advice would certainly be appreciated.
SOURCE: car wont start
I think you have a bad fuseable link. Also,
I suspect your alternator is not charging your battery.
You have power with the new one, and it ran for the 20 minutes on your old battery. There also may be a
starter relay unit under the hood.

The cheapest way to get around this and get enough voltage into the system to open the hood is to purchase a cigarette lighter extension (about 3 feet) and cut off the female plug on the end. Strip the 2 wires back a few inches and attach one to the positive and the other to the negative on a set of jumper cables. Attach the other end of the negative jumper to a battery. With the keyless entry in hand, touch the positive cable to the positive terminal on the battery and press the unlock button until you hear the car doors click. Once it clicks, you should be able to use the hood latch to gain access to the battery.

I TRIED THIS ALTERNATOR RED WIRE FIX TODAY,ALTHOUGH I DID GET IGNITION,WHEN I TRIED TO START IT BLEW A FUSE.ANYBODY KNOW ABOUT THIS.

Pull on emergency bonnet release cable located under the right front head light area. Stainless steel cable, which can be hard to find, but it is there and is very tight.
