My battery went flat, left lights on over night and the doors are all locked. the dead lock is engaged and trying to unlock driver and passenger door is unsuccessful. unlocking trunk and opening is though.

Are there any power points under vehicle to hook up battery jumper box??!!

Thanks a bunch...

I've done it with the trunk light easy it even had one end marked with a +, I bet you could even use a 9V.

did you get it open with the passenger door?

you have to simutaneously turn the key left and pull up the handle. you keep doing this over and over (2 or 3 times)until the knob comes all the way up, it doesn't unlock in one motion.

I posted a picture of how to pop the hood from the front with a long skinny screwdriver.
