ddeem Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 My battery has died and my key will not open the door. I could charge the battery if I could open the hood. Unforunatly, I can't find a way to open the hood from outside. I thought I could trip the hood release through the grill but, there is a piece of metal blocking that possiblity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WKelley Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Does your key work on the trunk? That's an easy pass through. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mort Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Hi ddeem, I'm sorry I can't help. There is an ancient thread about this topic. I have had a dead battery in my FFH, and at first I thought the door key didn't work. But I tried several times and it did unlock the door. From that old thread, some believe it matters if you have used the key fob to lock the door before the battery died. Others hold that the mechanical lock can always be operated by the key. It seems very unlikely that Ford would screw up the door lock on just one model. -m 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
