The positive cable on the starter might be the easiest thing to reach with a wire and small alligator clip.

I got it open!!!! What a relief.
I figured the slim jim would be the easiest solution but I don't have one so I looked through the grill and I could see the cable and the latch. The holes in the grill are decently large, took a little monkeying around but I managed to get my hand through the hole.. ouch!! Anyone with small enough hands could slip right in there tho. So anyway.. the plastic sleeve of the cable has a snap-in type of end on it that holds it to the latch bracket/housing. All I did was use a small flathead screwdriver to pop it out of the latch housing and it actually popped out fairly easily. Once the cable was loose a little yank on it opened the hood right up. Not too difficult really. thanx for all the replys and advice |

A tow company came and the chick had a machine that pinched the door lock stick thing and pulled it up and unlocked the car

The large positive feed wire to the starter is a direct line from the battery. The solenoid on the starter is the part that gets switched when the igntion is in "crank" mode. The solenoid just makes the connection between the starters positive feed wire and the starter motor itself. Solenoids and relays serve a simial function, they allow you to control a high amp circuit (starter motor) with a low amp circuit (starter solenoid/ fan relays etc) The low amp circuits are much safer to have routed into the drivers compartment and also allow for the switches that opperate the circuit to be rather small. If you were to switch the starter circuit directly, you would need a massive ignition switch that would be capable of several hundred amps. Where as a typical switch for an ignition or fan motor might be 5- 20 amps, occasionally you'll see a 30 amp or so.

Assuming that our starters follow the normal GM style of solenoid on the starter (which I'm pretty sure I remember it doing) you should have an always hot terminal that you could hook a battery charger to.

You could hook a charger to the positve cable on the starter and it is a direct path to the battery, the other side (ground) you hook to the frame, etc. Easy. In this particular case you want just enough power to be able to unlock the car so you could get to the jumper points, or to unlock the trunk so you could get to the battery. You would not want to jump start a car like this.
