Battery died in 2005 Corvette cannot pop hood.

From what I am finding that once you figure out how to get in there is a manual hood release inside the driver compartment. Is your owners manual in the car? It will have the info you need to locate hood handle

Oh and use caution opening and closing the doors with dead battery. The windows wont index and might cause an issue opening and closing if they catch on the frame.

charge it thru the cigar lighter socket, any appliance that plugs in socket has the wires to connect. must be always on socket, pc tap, ect

No owners manual present, tried to pop hood the regular way with no results...

Ok I am looking at your manual now. I will send you a link to a free on line version

http://justgivemethedamnmanual.com -- select the Chevy symbol, then make and then it will ask you for year. Hope this helps.

Charge thru cigarette lighter socket? How in the John Brown do you do that?

All I find is the manual release in the driver compartment to open hood. Might want to have someone lightly push down and pull up on hood as you try to release. But be easy.

Thanks for your help dandyoun, going to website now.
