Re: [DML] Locked out of car!! Keys inside. Anyway to get in???

[Jim Strickland <ihaveanaccount@xxxxxxxx>]

I heard a clever way of unlocking the doors a few weeks/months ago... The
message (which evades me now) says that hitting the fibreglass just in
front of the inertia switch (to the rear of the driver's wheel) can make
the inertia switch trip.  The switch cuts the ground to the fuel pump,
but also disengages the door locks as a sort of "safety feature".

You said the battery is out, but you can easily connect power to the car
with jumper cables to the jump start post and engine block.  Oh, if the
engine cover is latched, you will either have to push in a vent or access
the post or try to access it from underneath.  It may be easier to
connect a jumper cable to the starter post, which is accessible from
under the car.  

This is all assuming that your inertia switch and door lock solenoids are
working.
