I'm going away for a 5 day trip and will park my 2000 at the airport with the alarm on.
*If* the battery goes dead, can I still open the door lock via the key on a 2000 with a dead battery?
*If* I can open the door, does the front trunk pull also work without any battery power?
I'm thinking of dropping a small jump start battery in the small cabinet behind the seats, but I need to know if I will still have access to both getting into the car and the battery.
Thanks all

I don't think any part of my latch/cable to the front trunk is electrically operated. That's part of what I'm trying to confirm (now with conflicting comments).

I will state that on the one occasion that my battery was totally dead, the front truck could not be opened from the latch on the driver's door.
I was surprised at the time, but using the bar in the fuse box was easy enough. It popped almost right away.

The automatic opening from the key gets disabled after a couple/few days. I forget how long exactly.
