Eric,
This should do it for you.

Thank you to all who responded to my problem with being locked out of my
trunk! 
Thanks for all the suggestions. I tried the easy ones first, but DMC
JOE had it nailed. Once on a lift the drivers tire didn't even have to
be removed, above the brake cylinder by pushing the rubber plug up
access to the trunk was made and with a long piece of wire I was able to
see the lock mechanism . Grabbed it and what la! The trunk was opened. 
HEARS A GREAT TIP FOR ALL : TO AVOID THIS PROBLEM ,RUN A WIRE 
FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE LOCK MECHANISM TO THE RUBBER PLUG AT THE
BOTTOM OF THE TRUNK. THIS WAY SHOULD YOUR TRUNK CABLE EVER COME 
LOSE , ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS POP THE PLUG , AND GRAB THE WIRE TO
RELEASE THE TRUNK. IT MIGHT SEEM A LITTLE EXCESSIVE BUT IT BEATS
RUNNING OUT OF GAS GETTING THE DELOREAN TOWED TO A SERVICE
STATION THEN SPENDING AN HOUR TRYING TO FISH FOR THE TRUNK
RELEASE!.!.!.
