You need to replace the battery, is the key wireless? If so it won't work if the battery is dead

SOURCE: Battery Dead - Can't open the trunk to recharge battery. Help!

The 1994 xj6 sedan. The trunk should be opened by the key unless you have green keys only (valet keys).
If this is the case then open the hood and on the firewall there is a black plastic square box with a + sign on it, lift up the plastic cover, connect your jumper/charger on a low boost and this will give you enough power to push your remote trunk release switch.

SOURCE: mercedes/dead battery can't open trunk help

There should be a positive charging post under the hood. Hook up jumper cables to this post for positive and the engine for ground. Then get in the car and pop the trunk with the trunk release button.

Simple solution - your tbird has a mechanical trunk lock behind your driver seat on the face of the package shelf. Just use your key to open it.

SOURCE: My battery is dead and i do not have a trunk key

Buy or build a cigarette lighter plug to jumper cable adapter. It won't jump your car, but you will get enough juice to operate the trunk release.

I would have the dealer cut a new key to get the driver's door open - or use a spare. You can buy a small charger that plugs into the cig lighter.
