Can't get in Truck...
My mother has a 2010 f-150 xlt... It has the remote on the keychain and the digital numbers on the drivers door... It doesn't get driven often and I'm assuming the battery is down... I tried her remote and mine and neither works... I tried the number code without results... So I tried the key in the drivers door and it won't turn... It's the original key and it does work on the tailgate...
Any help on getting into her truck???
Thanks, Kevin

If the truck isn't used much you can pretty much count on the battery being dead. Try some graphite powder in the door lock and GENTLY wiggle and twist the key in the lock. Be careful not to put too much pressure or you will break the key in the lock. If that doesn't work use a "slim jim" or call AAA

Another approach might be to open the hood, possibly with a long screwdriver or something similar. This is assuming it doesn't have a Jimmi-Jammer guard installed. If it's not guarded, you SHOULD be able to force the lock open with an appropriate tool.
Once you have the hood open, you could charge or replace the battery.

My Maxima had a charging wire under the front left turn signal lens for situations like this but I guess Ford was too cheap to do that.
I wonder if the battery can be charged via the trailer power connector? (Assuming that the relay and fuse have been installed.)

The battery wire to the starter (or probably the starter solenoid) seems a good bet though.
