Keys inside a dead GT

[fjpikul]

DUH, what am I thinking? You're absolutely right. Never considered this aspect before.

Use the new valet key to open the hood/trunk. Remove the liner and put a charger on the battery. Set it at 2A or less. Pop the lock, remove the charger immediately. Put the supplied charger on the car and walk away with the radio and all other electrical off.

Come back three days later. You will be good to go.

I'm an expert on paragraph 1. This protects you rom breaking the valet key off in the door.

I too thought the valet key would break off, but after I realized it took about the same anount of pressure to turn the key as it does to push in the old mechanical button openers on an older car, it opened easy.

Also once the battery is dead and the door actuators don't work due to no power (ie doors are locked) even charging the battery will not return the them to the unlocked stage. Once the battery is charged with the keys locked inside, you must use the valet key or the fob (if it wasn't locked inside).

Check my friggin' 12 page battery thread from awhile back. :lol

Keys Locked In Car

Did you hear the one about the Chevy owner who locked his keys in the car?

It took him 5 hours to get his family out!

Get your dad a radio to listen to while in his garage. And ask him to drive the car, life is too short. :thumbsup

Good point Ed, we didn't ask him if anyone was in the FGT

why not call a locksmith? find one that has a 10 cut ford decoder and he can cut a key on the spot.
