Ingenuity of a car guy

Unless and except for an 06 Ford Fusion. They don't respond. I swear they don't. The battery's dead, YOU are dead. Nothing works when the battery's dead. Been there, seen it, lived it. Nothing works. Dead as a Food Lion mackerel. Dead.

I'm assuming 'locked out', not 'dead battery so power locks won't work'.......

Had so many folks tell me that when the battery is dead, you can still open the trunk or doors with the key, etc...

No, you can't. Not on that one car at least. Nossir, you sure can not.

i've not found a car i couldnt get into yet, but i'm no locksmith or burglar.
coathangers, wire, fishing poles, etc, all work great, lol.?
ironically, my camaro keys open my wifes ford escort. ask me how i know, lmao. maybe the gods smiled on me once?

I've never gone fishing for a door lock. What kind of bait do you use?

i was driving one of my minitrucks and pulled into a truck stop, before i even got out my truck someone came up to asking for asking for spare change, told them i didnt have any then started to talk shit to me so when i come flyin out of my truck to get ready to kick some ass they haul ass after seeing im not petite i lost all track of what i was doing and my keys got locked in my truck, so im beyond pissed, go in and do what i was going to do and buy small flat head screw driver, I go out to my truck and ever so slightly pry between the rubber molding and cab and pry out the glass with the molding so pushing the screwdriver i slowly work the molding out along with the glass, after about 20 seconds I have the back window out and keys in hand .....

so the person who caused me to go thru all came back talking more shit to me and then i went into a verbal rage that would make quentin tarantino blush saying something to the effect of breaking the back window in half and taking a large piece of the glass throwing it towards their neck hoping to cut their head off ..... it was like I had stopped the movement of time cause everyone within ear shot was frozen place staring at me thinking i was talking to them. I put the glass in the passenger seat, drove to a buddies house, laughed about the whole things, used 16 gauge wire and dish soap and put my back window back in

I would have said something along the lines of asking him if he wants to continue talking shit to a large, pissed off man who now has a weapon in his hand.

You have more patience then I do.

You have more patience then I do.

Patience is something you learn to have when you cant pay someone else to do shit for you.

The mess up thing is I am always getting cars open for people. The easiest was an old chevy C10, just stuck a feeler gauge thought the gap in the sliding glass and opened the rear window. The hardest was a little import crapbox that had baffles and shit around the locking mechanism. Used to make good money unlocking cars for people, but most I did for free because carma is a good thing to have.

my sons girlfriend had a minivan and used to lock her keys in there a few times a week. the back vent window didnt lock, so you could open it that 2 inches or so. i used an old fishing rod to reach the power door lock. she locked her keys in there so often that i bungee corded the pole on the rack. eventually she figured out how to do it by herself. joking around, we used to call the pole her triple A. unbelievably, she wasnt a blonde, lol.

Todd, I keep a wire hanger where I can get it because I have locked my keys in the car more times than I'd like to admit. I can get into my cars in less than 30 seconds. Hence, the reason I have kill switches and steering locks in both cars.

Why not get a spare key cut and tape it somewhere under the car ?
