    You might be able to get a battery charger/conditioner (a trickle charger) that connects to your cigarette lighter just to give the battery enough juice to pop the bonnet.

    Use a jumper wire to run 12 volts from another battery to the fuse or relay that controls the solonoid then hit the switch

    Recommend installing battery switch to shut off battery when car in not in use to prevent draw that typically occurs with F-cars, also a battery tender to keep battery fresh.
