Default Need to open the hood of a 993 with a dead battery

Battery of our 96’ 993 died, currently locked out of the car. How would I go about opening the hood?

Put the ignition key in one of the door locks turn to open the car and pull the release lever.
If you locked the only set of keys into the car opening the frunk will, I believe, require jacking the driver's side front wheel off the ground and removing the wheel and the front half of the wheel well liner to reveal an emergency release pull wire.

As PP00830 expressed, open the door and pull the trunk release. If your battery is dead, you won't hear an alarm. And if you do hear the alarm, disconnect the cable to your battery.
I hope this helps. PP00830 is knowledgeable and has helped me. Good Guy!

Silent alarm? Isn't that an oxymoron?

Sorry....couldn't resist.
