Help Help Help,

I just got done with all the things needed to get the breather issue fixed, the belt tensioner, the alt, and the oil sending unit and go to hook back up the battery, and the car locked me out. I have the key in hand but it will not let me unlock the car. WTF.I need to know how to get the locks to unlock so I can get in and try to start the darn thing and see if all is good or I need to keep working on stuff...

Thanks
Bill

Hmm, you can disconnect the battery and try unlocking it then.

If it locks when you connect the battery again, disconnect the power for the vacuum as a temporary fix.

did you try unlocking it from the trunk?

That too, thats why I always leave a window down or door open when im working on a car

If the vacuum pump isn't working (or if the battery is unplugged) the key should open whatever door you unlock.

I think I either dont know the whole story...or I'm confused.

Problem sort of solved?

Guys,

Thanks for all the advise on this, ended up having to call the stealer and going in thru the sunroof with a coat hanger to lift the lock. It looks like the drivers door lock actuator is bad.

I tried all of the above except the power to the vac pump to get in and had no luck. The car was fighting me on getting in. Key would spin in lock and do nothing and would not work in the trunk at all. Has me baffled for sure.

Now that I got the drives unlocked everything sort of works again. Just going to leave it alone for now and hope until the weather gets a little warmer and then it is getting into the lock system on the car.

Again, thanks guys
Bill
