Melissa BS: pushbutton entry/dead battery (57* d) RE: BS: pushbutton entry/dead battery 16 Nov 12


I'm not sure either, RB.
I've been told that the internal workings of the lock are the same as on doors with regular key entry. Of course, I've also been told that on some of these cars, there's something too tight in the door and locksmiths break windows trying to get their slimjim/tool thingy slid in.
The electric windows close tightly and the button pegs are smooth. I don't think I'd be able to force the window down enough to poke a burglar tool in..not sure the electric lock button would have enough juice to unlock IF I could get it poked.
It's Really inconvenient to have the car a few miles away. It cuts down on the things I could try.

Pretty sure there's no keyhole for the trunk..I did think about the possibility of crawling through the backseat. It would have been a cheap solution!
I also thought about breaking a window. Thought I could call the junkyard ahead of time to find out which window they have (if any) and then break the corresponding pane of my car. Problem there is that I don't know how to replace windows and I don't have anyone to do it for me. A locksmith will be cheaper than a replacement window and and expert installer.
