Columbia NEV with LX front body

[CPC2004]

Hi, pleased to meet 'cha, this is my first post.

I just bought a nice running 2004 Columbia ParCar Eagle NEV that has the "Optional LX Front Body with Electronic Trunk Release". VIN: 5FCLE24A641000684

The Trunk release button is inside the driver's side glove box but seems to be inoperative, I cannot open the trunk lid. The previous owner (my neighbor) never opened it either because it was broken when he bought it years ago.
We'd like to know if anyone here has any info about this, or can point us to a way to open this trunk.
For all we know it contains the Crown Jewels!! Haha.

Attached is a picture of a red LX body with trunk lid open. The silver cart is the one I just bought.

Any information about this predicament is happily accepted.
