06 Mustang - Battery Dead; Can't get car to unlock!
Hello all,
My '06 Mustang is experiencing the Shaker 500 dead battery syndrome. Can't unlock the car with the fob obviously, but the weird thing is that the key won't manually turn in the driver's door lock or trunk lock! Is this some kind of "security feature" that was activated? And if so, is there a way to override it?
Until I can get into the car to pop the hood, I can't change out the battery. I searched the forums and couldn't find anyone with this same problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Power door trim switch inhibit (if equipped)
This feature disables the power door lock controls if all the doors are
locked and the active anti-theft system (if equipped) becomes armed.
For more information concerning the active anti-theft system, refer to
Active anti-theft system (if equipped) later in this chapter.
Once the power door trim switches are disabled, they can only become
active when a valid electronic unlock event (i.e., using the remote entry
transmitter) occurs.
If the anti-theft system did arm itself for some reason is it possible that this feature activated? Then the only way to unlock is with the key fob...which is not an option for me because the battery is dead :-( . The other alternative I can think of is if there is a manual release for the hood I can get in and change the battery.

It says it disables the "power" door lock controls, if you are unable to even get in your trunk, that tells me it is a key issue first.
The locks on the door are all mechanical when it comes to using your key.

my guess is this is probably the first time you've tried manually using the key since the car was new. try soaking the key with either WD-40 or graphite lube. insert the key and wiggle it left to right,cylinders will do this if they're not used for long periods of time!
