Hi everyone,
Hoping someone will have a solution/recommendation for this.
My battery died somehow on my 2010 XLT/XTR :-(
Now that wouldn't be so bad except my key doesn't work in the lock either.
Someone tried to pry the handle a couple of months ago and the key has been flaky ever since.
Is the lock cylinder actually mechanically connected to the lock?
Or is it just an electrical "switch" that unlocks the locks.

I figure I have to find someplace I can hook up power to externally so that I can at least unlock the doors and pop the hood or open the hood somehow without getting inside.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Dave

 

Call a locksmith or a cop to jimmy the lock? I've also heard that firemen can jimmy a lock, if that's an option for you.

 

Also can call a towing company usual cost about 40 to 50 bucks

 

Hoping to avoid the locksmith route if I can.
No way to pop the hood or plug in to the power somewhere?

 

2010.. should come with roadside assistance no ?

 

call road side assistance. free to you.

 

As long as the flat battery was not caused by you then it should be covered under warranty. They will come out and sort it with road side assistance.

 

Does Canada have the 50,000 mile roadside assistance free from Ford like in the US? If so, this shouldn't cost you a thing.

 

Well if there is a chance Ford might charge me, because the kids left a light on then I think I will call AMA instead.
Allright, so the consensus seems to be to call.
But is there really no way to get in to the truck?
What about my question about whether the key lock is actually mechanical, does anyone know?

I know we have some kind of road side assistance but the details are locked in the glovebox. :-)

The lock does use a rod to move the doors lock

 

Is it common for that rod to come unhooked when someone pries up the bezel to try and pop it?

If there is no power point accessible from the factory I think I will run one just in case this happens again.
