Help! locked out with no battery
11. Feb 2010 at 08:55

Had a complete blonde moment Roll Eyes

and not even blonde Cheesy

After having problems with the alternator I have been taking the battery off at night to recharge, to get kids to school in the morning Thumbs Up!

Last night I locked the car with remote and then removed the battery to charge Roll Eyes

didnt think anything of it until the penny dropped and now of course I can't get in it Undecided

I have tried turning the key and lifting the handle and all the other methods involve jump starting the car in different locations. But if I have no battery then this won't work Huh

Son has exam at 11am, live in a village and only local with transport is going to a funeral today so PLEASE HELP!!!

Feb 2010 at 09:02 ok thanks will go and have another go The door has dropped a bit and so on a good day it takes two hands and I have to lift it up a bit, so maybe making it harder. Wasnt sure if battery had to be connected for this method and didnt want to break the key

Feb 2010 at 11:26 the key should work but believe me, you will think its going to snap the key other then that, try jacking the front of the car right up and see if you can get a battery charger on the alternator or starter terminal 12 volt ( red one ) and the black ( neutral ) onto a bear metal piece of the car

Not an option as I only want to get in it to sort the alternator and sell the bloody thing asap Grin

to top that, just got back from the garage with the petrol estate and that has failed on more things than it did the first time Cry

I official hate my cars and they are going on ebay tonight, so watch out for a bargain Cheesy

But I will go and try the keys again when Ive calmed done a bit Thumbs Up!

Also can not jack it up as the bloody jack is in the boot Sad

Feb 2010 at 13:15 As said, try WD40 on the lock, moral, always keep the lock well lubricated, you never know when you will need to open it with a key. I oil mine regularly, with 3:1 oil.

Got to totally fed up and thought f### it, thought of my ex husband and turned the key and yes you were all right it clicked and then opened Thumbs Up!

Shame the car still doesnt work but at least I can get on with trying to fix it, thanks you Wink
