Title: Help i'm locked out with keyless entry
Post by: lroca2 on November 24, 2005, 07:21:45 PM
My 88 cougar has locked me out they keyless entry won't even light up when i try it.  Needless to say my keys are in the ignition.  What can I do to get in?  Walmart won't let me stay there for much longer.

Battery dead?  If so then your keyless entry code made have reset back to the factory code.  See here for that.....http://www.foxtbirdcougarforums.com/showthread.php?t=995&highlight=keyless+entry

Of course it won't help you get in the car if the keys are locked in though..... These cars are easy enough to slim jim though.

Yup there is a metal rod that runs up to the lock plunger if you can hook that and pull up it will unlock the door. Other than that call a locksmith.

Also check your car insurance. You may have lockout protection that they will come out and get in for you.

If all else fails call a state trooper or county cop. They'll be glad to break in for you. Well I don't know about your state but they have done it in MD.

 Same here, but don't know why. I have mastered the coat hanger, I've never owned car I could not get into without a coat hanger. All becasue the locksmiths around here charger between $50 and $60 depending on the vehicle and where you are at.

i'll remember that ;). it easy to pop the lock, if you take your time you can do it without sratching it all up, and prolly without any dents.
