lol

 

I had a old 88 chevy and whenever the battery died I could not roll down the window.

 

this is a joke right?

 

Yes

 

Oh ****

 

in for the lulz

 

ok, I have a problem. the other night someone got into my car cause i left it unlocked. There wasn't anything in there except the keyless entry with a key to it. They didn't take the car just the keys??? Instead they locked it with keyless remote. So I used my spare key to open the car but this set the alarm off. Couldnt stop the alarm. Even started the car and alarm continues to go off. So I figured I would unhook the battery for two reasons. To hopefully clear the security and also incase they attempt to come back with my keys. Well my key doesnt let me in the trunk!! 06 cobalt. I can get inside the car, but not the trunk. Without power I cannot open trunk, without opening the trunk, cannot get power back. Is there a way to lay down the seats jfrom the inside or open the trunk manually
? please help. thank you.

 

do you have a second car? get jumper cables and connect at the front pos post and ground then turn the car to run and pop the truck with the button. If that doesnt work you will have to get a locksmith to open the truck

 

dont understand why your key wont open your trunk, i thought they were just standard locks not electronic locks. Either way, what you will need to have done (after you get your car mobile again) is have your dealership erase the programmed keyfobs (and passkey for the actual key itself) and have them reprogram the fob you have and key you have so that it renders the ones they stole useless. The car's computer system can store up to 10 of each (keyfobs and physical keys).

 

But they still have a key that will unlock the car. Passlock doesnt do anything for the doors.

 

would you rather have the car stolen? lol

 

the trunk key is a standard lock. i had just assumed someone swapped trunks or something so the key he has isnt the key to open his trunk lock

 

Thanks so much for this thread! I was in the middle of a hotly contest football game when my daughter calls from her dorm room at UAB and says her car is dead and her key will not come out. I thought she was nuts but this thread explains it ALL! The Campus Security got her started and made it home.
How crazy is it that you cannot get your key out with a dead battery.
Thanks again, all is well.

 

I dont think you understood what I was saying. Regardless of him having keys relearned to start that car, the stolen keys will still unlock the doors. Passlock is only for the ignition, it wouldnt stop the stolen keys from letting the thieves into the car to steal whatever is in it.

 

I know, i get you, i just wouldnt want them to get into the car and be able to start the car as well.

 

Alright everyone. I haven't dealt with the car issue yet. Its not my daily driver so I have kinda neglected the fact cause i been super busy. So its still locked and sitting there. I read someones post about hooking up to the posts under the hood. it did not work. With the battery unhooked the circuit cannot complete and even though i am putting power on the line it still wont function. Good idea though, thanks. as to the trunk not letting me in, its the proper key to the lock so I do not know why it even turns the cylinder, just doesnt unlock it. leads me to believe that the locks are not "manual" in that manner. I have read and heard others having the same problem. The dealer ship will do it for me. And they want over three hundred for it. Thats just silly to me. I reinspected and have another idea. There are trunk releases on the lid of the trunk. The rear seats have no barrier at the seems going down the middle. So I plan to take a broom handle and fish for the trunk release on the lid for entry. wish me luck, and I will let you know how that works for me. As to the stolen fobs and key, I do not want it stolen. but without large expense, i cannot prevent them from enter my car with out that key, I would have to have the doors recylindered/rekeyed. not cheap. but once i get the battery hooked up and disable the security system, I will use the radio fuse to render the key fobs useless, and then have my key reprogrammed and synced with my car, this will keep that missing key form starting it. All this trouble cause of a damn thief. And for what? there was nothing in my car to begin with, so he ends up with two useless key fobs and a pointless key, while I get a chore list to fix the issues. upsetting to say the least.

 

you hooked both power and ground under the hood?

 

Oh for Christ sakes

 

This guy....

Only on CSS would a thread like this endure...

 

Just so you know, there is a release for the trunk. Lower down your back seat and crawl to the back (hopefully you are not scared of small spaces) . You will see a white trunk release to pull. I have had this problem with not being able to unlock my trunk and needing to jump my car. Sounds ridiculous but... sadly is true.

 

This is like a 6 year old thread

 

 

oh god make it stop.

 

Does anyone know how I can get the ignition key out of the ignition? The battery went dead & the key won't turn all the way off. I can't get into the trunk because the key is stuck. Is there another way to jump the battery from the engine?? Any help will be greatly appreciated!

 

how do you lower the seat to get into the trunk?
