Hey all,
This is my 1st post... Long time viewer though....
Here is my question... It is like 7 below zero and my battery is dead. No problem, I'll just jump it off...
However, I can't get into the truck. The truck is locked, and with the battery dead the remote doesn't work... Ok, so I use the key instead. Well the key doesn't open the doors either. It seems like the door locks are electrical and you need power for them, or, my doors are hosed up and the mechanical portion of the doors doesn't work. The key turns the lock, it just doesn't open the door.
So, when using the key, are the door locks mechanical? Which means mine are broken.
OR
Are they electrical door locks?
How would get into the truck to access the hood latch to enable me to jump it off? I'm thinking if I can get just enough power, then my remotes will work. The only outside truck electrical connection I can get to is the Tow Hitch electrical receptacle. But I don't think that would feed power back to the battery... My only option would be for a locksmith to come out and "pop" the lock open...
Any ideas?
