I owned a locksmith company for almost 20 years, One day while eating lunch I observed 3 different locksmith companies trying to unlock a Porsche and just about tore it up trying to get in. ( THE PORSCHE HAD A LOCKDOWN SYSTEM ) IN case the battery went dead you could not unlock it.... I called the the used car dealership and ASK the owner / manager, IF he would let me come over and unlock the car for FREE ... would he give me his future business, He said YES!, I went across the street, I hooked up jumper cables to my VAN and the other end to the Positive side of the starter and then to the body for a ground, Which gave me power to the car, I Put the key in the door and unlocked it. Fast and easy. After that I Continued to service his business for over 12 years.

The correct way to do this is to hold the driver’s door handle slightly open and use the key to push the cover release towards the front of the vehicle and the cover will pop off exposing the keyhole. This is explained in the owner’s manual as the proper way to do this so as not to damage the cover by attempting to prying it open

That's great, but what if you have no physical key at all? I have a 2013 Ford Escape and there is no key hidden inside the remote and I don't believe there is a hidden slot inside the handle either. I have a dead battery and no way to open the door and I'm not even sure if the tow truck can get into it! I don't understand why when they designed these things to begin with why they didn't give the key locks their own separate power source so that if your main battery went dead you would still be able to get into your car.

My car had the door replaced due to accident. The old key cylinder wasn't moved to the new door, so my key would not work. I had to jack up the car and connect power jumpers to the starter so I could use the remote to unlock the door. I got a locksmith to fix the key cylinder so it matched my key.

I actually love having a key and think it’s so much faster. This keyless thing is kinda annoying. Car companies are bored so they just keep trying to fix things that worked perfectly in the first place. Like buttons on a radio. Now we have big screens which is so dangerous. The map is nice, but just trying to switch to the other radio station is a whole thing.

That is nice information to know as my sister took me to dinner for my birthday Friday and when we came out to get in her car her remote didn't work and she had to use the manual way to unlock the driver's door. I didn't know that the companies had changed the locks so much. That is one way to deter the amateur car thief from breaking into the vehicles. Thanks for sharing this information with us as I learned something new.

Thank you. I just HELPED? my sister program a 3rd key and it worked for the door to open and shut it, but would not turn on the motor, so I told her to leave it in the glove box and we will work on it tomorrow. Well when she got home she closed the car by hitting the lock on the door and closing the door. Now the 2 keys she has do not work and the only one that will work is in the car. She called me and said there are no places to put an actual key into the door. That is until I found your video. Thanks. at least we can get back into the car and use the 3rd and only key fob that works. as to trying to program a key now to work to turn on the motor, that's a story for another day. lol

My car is locked right now because of a completely dead battery. You can't simply turn the key the other direction to turn the alarm off; you would normally put the key fob into a cupholder and turn the car on to disengage the alarm, but my battery is completely dead, so when I go to use the mechanical key, the alarm will go off and there will be no turning it off right away. I will have to try to quickly pop the hood, have my jump starter ready and use it on boost mode for a dead battery. Then I will have to hurdle a couple of things, jump back in the car and hit the ignition button. The alarm in my car has its own battery, so despite the dead battery, it will still sound, attracting the attention of my neighbors and inside the garage; giving my a headache. Good video though so that people now how to use their mechanical key to gain access to the car.

Yeah I don't have one of those covers, so I'm left hoping that my battery never dies, especially if I'm away from home.

Yes just spray some penetrating oil in the key hole and work the key to loosen up the lock.

That was very helpful for that kind of vehicle, I will keep that in mind in the future. I have a 2004 jeep liberty my key fob is not working, the only key hole is the drivers door I’m trying to get my back hatch open, can you help?

What if I *DO* have a keyhole, and the key won't open the car that way either? (I WAS able to unlock it with the key the last time the battery died, but it's been a week since I drove this vehicle this time.) I tried both keys. No luck. I know how to use jump cables once I can get to the battery, but the hood unlocks from INSIDE the car. Figures; it's Sunday, nobody's open. Maybe I need to borrow Tarax's brick.

The large terminal on a starter is directly connected to the battery. For the ground just connect to engine block. Starters are allmost always on the bottom of the engine

If you are not sure where your starter is do not attempt this.
