RE: Door lock problem
Ive anwsered this question a few times in here. heres a few things you can do.
1.) call a tow truck driver to slim jim youre door.
2.) You slim jim the door.
3.) Smash a window.
4.) call a locksmith.
5.) get a pair is metal sisscors, insert them into youre door key slot push down wards slowly while opening youre door handle.
( by me saying slowly so that you dont damage the tumblers in the lock, It will work still with youre key).
All those methods work perfect #5 is how a Smart car thieve gets in youre car hehe.
Good Luck.

RE: Door lock problem
use the slim jim to open the passenger side door, then
remove the back seat back and reach through into the trunk to retrieve your keys. you probably have to remove the seat bottom first, but it just clips in, push back on the front of it and lift, it will pop up. then you can see the bolts holding the seat back in place.

RE: Door lock problem
I have a V6 automatic and my seats fold down in the back, thus you can get to the trunk. Also, my trunk release is right inside the glovebox-- why haven't you hit that button? Unless you don't have that... I'm not sure.

RE: Door lock problem
Well I just went to Ford with my Title and they gave me a trunk key for $6. My driverside door handle was disconnected because of a slimjim accident(~Whoops~)
...And I didnt want to do the same to my passenger so I opened my trunk with the new key, crawled into the back seat then opened my drivers side from inside. Took apart my door and sure enough this little yellow plastic lever was moved and it disengaged my door. Well I got everything fixed and while I was at Ford I got a new Passenger side door lock motor since my other was messed up. See you guys on the road!
