SOURCE: cant get in car to pop hood, dead battery key hole jammed!!

at this point you have 2 options, 1, go to a parts store and get a jimmy kit that helps you break into the car by unlocking the door, whicch sometimes can be tricky or if you have aaa they will unlock it for you for free, 2, you would have to reach from underneath and feel around for the cable, folow it to the latch assembaly and carefully release the latch assembaly, this way wil be very difficult and a tight area.
Good Luck.

I found a few solutions to your problem here:

A lot of them have some merit, depending on whether you want to actually manually open the hood or use the inovative options posted there. Either way, i hope this helps and best of luck with your problem!

SOURCE: Widow w/ E430 Mercedes dead battery. Can't get

THE HOOD IS MECHANICAL MEANING ITS JUST A WIRE PULLING A LATCH. HAVE SOMEONE PULL UP ON THE HOOD AS YOU PULL THE LEVER TO OPEN THE HOOD. IF THE BATTERY IS DEAD THEN GO TO THE REAR SEAT. ON BOTH SIDE RIGHT AND LEFT, JUST UNDERNEATH THE REAR SEATS ARE THESE LITTLE HOLES . FIT YOUR FINGERS IN THERE AND PRESS UP ON THE SEAT. DO THE SAME TO THE OTHER ISDE. THE BATTERY IS THERE UNDER ALL THAT STUFF. JUMP IT FROM THERE.

SOURCE: Ford F150 remote key does not work after car battery

Should not have happened,
For the Factory RKE ( Remote Keyless Entry ) have you tried reprogramming the key fobs to your truck. The procedure is in the owners manual ( need all of them at programming time ).
This is stored in NVR, and should not need to be done, but worth a try.

If this is an aftermarket Remote start / alarm, check the owners manual for t on battery replacement. Have seen some off brand with strange battery ( truck's battery that is ) replacement steps.

I have a 2000 Ford Taurus and neither the "actual" key nor the key fob work... I have replaced the key fob battery and now cannot get back in my car ... help

You need to have a mobile lock smith check it out , before changing the key fob battery did it unlock the vehicle ? Your actual key doesn't unlock the doors? Replacing the fob battery has nothing to do with it,it doesn't lose it's unique RF signal . you need a lock smith or depending where you at, tow truck drivers have the tools to open the vehicle,

OK different model but at least one other ford car owner is confirming that car will not open with key dead battery.

I suggest using a little effort on the key. Do not break the key!!!.
In the following forum the owner indicated a different feel as if the mechanical lock was maybe interacting with the anti theft system!!

I O course make sure you have the right key!!! whi knows keys can get mixed up.

Dead Battery Door Locks Inoperative Ford Fusion Hybrid

If the battery is dead I might consider searcing under the car for the starter motor battery connection and charging the battery. Least risk.

Opening hood with jimmy tool is possible. I would find a similar Edge and practice with the hood jimmy tool with the hood open before I would tear up the finish trying to open the hood

With the VIN number in hand I might go back to dealer and confirm key!!!

Good Luck

How do i gain entry into my ford f-150 cab or open the hood with not key entry when battery is dead

You can unlock the door with a slim jim, or coat hangar to gain entry into the cab. Otherwise you will have to remove the phillips screws that hold the grill on, and remove the grill to get to the hood latch.

Battery is DEAD on 2003 Ford Escape! Door key (using an actual key) unlock is also motorized, which needs battery juice. I can't get into this car! I thought about putting jumper cables on the sta

Open the door manually with the key!

Many Ford Escapes have power door locks as standard equipment. This system consists of a lock switch, lock actuator and wiring harness. When you depress the lock switch, it sends an electronic signal through the harness to the actuator. The actuator moves an internal piston that either pulls the actuator hook down or pushes it up. The actuator hook connects to the lock rod, which either locks or unlocks the door, depending on which way you push the lock button. While this system won't work with a dead battery, the mechanical lock system remains unaffected by electrical power loss.

Insert the door lock key into the driver's door lock.
Turn the key counterclockwise one quarter turn.
Pull the door handle up until the Escape's door opens. Once the driver door is open, simply open the remaining doors by pulling the interior door handles until the doors open.
