do you have another key or key fob --if you dont have a code to unlock door assuming code for door keypad no code doors stay locked --notify aaa if member---check your insurance policy some now have roadside=lockout assistance,or call a locksmith or service station that does lockouts
It's not going to seem very helpful, but the only way that you'll be able to take care of this is to manipulate the lock from the inside. This is, of course, assuming your keys are stuck inside your car. If not, attempt unlocking the door by physically using your keys.
If your keys are locked in your vehicle, use the AAA wedge on the door and attempt to retrieve the keys -- they physically will be able to manipulate the lock. If the keys are gone, you could attempt wedging the door open and using a metal or plastic bar or plate to bypass the lock on the door itself (passing it between the door closing mechanism and the frame of the vehicle). If you're desperate, and don't have the keys anyways, it may just be time to break a window and do things the old fashioned way.
try with the copy key (its possible that you have some in your house or wife). If you are a member of AAA you can call them. Their drivers usually carry a slimjim to open vehicles with the keys inside.
Not a member of AAA, juts will need called locksmith.
Other procedures dont work (call cell phone with the keyfob while calling, etc, etc).
long piece of bailing wire and try to pull them from the passenger side ,pull the top of the door and jam it back a bit with a screwdriver handle ,then feed wire in and try to pull out the keys ,i always hide a spare key undewr the car wrapped in grease and plastic
Try spraying some silicon lubricant into the keyhole and slide the key in and out a few times.
If this does not work you may have to remove the interior door panel and trouble shoot the lock mechanism.
It's also possible the lock cylinders are worn and need to be rebuilt. This can be done by a qualified locksmith (look for a AAA certified locksmith). Or you can order new lock cylinders and get them re-keyed to match your ignition key.
your going to have to use a coat hanger, use somthing to wedge the door open a little then snake hanger in to try and hit power lock button or push the unlock lever, you will have to bend hanger to right angle. or you could call AAA they will send someone but it would cost you if you dont have AAA, good luck hope this helps.
hi how are you doing? yes it sounds like the lock cylnder has failed. the tumblers in the lock cylnder have either broke or are worn out.if you can not turn the key then you will have to call a locksmith to remove the lock cylnder.
