I just locked myself out... Lame. I have an almost dead battery the car would not start. I had the battery starter and starter solenoid tested all fine but it will not start.

Since this is a topic/technical issue which will require replies and discussion, this thread has been moved from the New Member Introductions forum to the model specific forum.

Are you sure one of the door handles isn't causing a parasitic draw? Did you try replacing the battery? These cars are known to eat batteries, even when they test good.

Does it turn over at all? Or absolutely nothing? Any recent maintenance that was done? Did this just happen out of the blues? Or did the car stall out while you were driving?

Could be as simple as a dead/malfunctioning key fob battery. There is a manual keyhole on the back of the electronic switch. Could at least eliminate the key/switch as the potential cause. Worth a shot.
