The starter cable. Sumbitch; I didn't even think of that. And it won't take long; just hooking it up will probably provide enough current to run the BCU and solenoids.

Ok. So after trying to jump the battery from the starter cable and not succeeding I pulled out the driver side headlight and stripped the hood release cable down through the rubber and snipped the metal surrounding the cable enough to pull on it and I got the hood to pop. But now after charging my battery I have this wild clicking noise while starting and a buzzing noise from the dash but the engine does not even attempt to turn over. Any ideas?

I'd get a voltmeter on that battery; "wild clicking noise" while trying to crank is -- generally -- that your battery voltage is too low, and as soon as the solenoid pulls in to try to crank, the voltage drops far enough that the solenoid drops out again; lather, rinse, repeat.

I think the minimum crank voltage is supposed to be something like 9.6vdc.

Even freshly "charged", you battery may have had a cell short out or otherwise go dead.
