I should have watched this video before putting a brick through the windshield 😁. Great info Jim, thanks again for the great video.

@jimthecarguy 4 года назад

Hahaha. Thats another way to open the door.

@ellesamuse 4 года назад

I am assuming my ignition key is not the door key of my super-dead Buick. A brick through the windshield is looking good since I cannot open trunk to get my jack and have no idea what or where starter is. 😂😂😂

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.

What if the battery is completely dead? The key won’t open still, it seems it’s electro mechanical, not straight mechanical

@wyattoneable 4 года назад

That's great information to keep in the back of your mind Jim. I find it funny that they hide the key hole in the first place but that's the way manufactures are thinking I guess. You need the key and a small screw driver in your pocket now. :)

@semco72057 4 года назад

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.

Actually the key carries a very small screwdriver at the very end of your key! Where the key ring goes!! You pull it out your key and use it to open the door! Just saw it on another video 😁

@captnrb 3 года назад

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

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.

@mavic6155 2 года назад

Might be an idea for the manufacturer to add a small screwdriver tip into the keyfob! There are day's I don't have a sharp screwdriver in my pocket.. Thanks for explaining! Estetics have won from practicality.

@antldemons 11 месяцев назад

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.

@PlumbPitiful 3 года назад

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.

@gorsneg Год назад

they did so you will have to turn to services every single time and pay money for every little thing- thats why!

@cynthiafernandez2129 3 года назад

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

On a 2021 Malibu that has a dead battery, how can you open the trunk to get out the jumper cables? Even if you get into the car the it is close to impossible for a elderly person to figure out how to manipulate the backseat release. Could a release cable be hidden on the inside or underneath the car?

Is the keyhole on both front doors or just the driver's door, cause my front passenger door does not lock when the battery is dead & it doesn't have a keyhole?

@shadowrealm8937 Год назад

Tell me, there is a bora 2001. Doors won't open with key or alarm. With the key, the thrust rises and that's it, you release the key and it goes back. If I lower one glass, it falls by itself, just need to remove ducktape, then from the inside will I be able to open it or will it be like with a key, just raising the thrust, but without opening it?
