I got a 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt and my battery is dead. The battery is in the trunk.

I tried pushing the trunk release button and it doesn’t work. I don’t have a key to my trunk or I’d obviously use that.

I’ve looked online to see if there were other ways to get into my trunk. People kept saying to pull the seats back but the only way I know how to pull the seats back is to pull the levers inside the trunk.

I gotta move my car today and I don’t know what to do. Nothing online is helping me.

You could try using jump leads to a spare battery or another car's battery. Connect the positive to the large connector on the engine starter motor. Connect the negative to a suitable point on the engine. This should then power up the car electrics.

Obviously this only possible if you can get to the started motor either from under the bonnet/hood, or from underneath the car.

Make sure you connect the jump leads to the starter motor before connecting the other end to a battery. Also connect the positive lead first.
