I'm sure this has happened before?? My alarm has gone heywire in the middle of my project below. The alarm went off, it is extremely loud in a metal building btw. So I grabbed the key fob...nothing. I push it, I hold it down, still nothing. Doors are locked, windows are up and at this point I have no way in.

I do have to trunk open so that's a positive. Is there any way in?

Since it is smoking hot here in Texas, I changed out the old coolant pipes and while I was at it decided to upgrade my single fan for a dual fan setup. Best I could figure, the single Spal unit claimed 1600cfm. I upgraded to a Maradyne 3400cfm dual fan. I'm leaving the one fan closest to the radiator inlet on the ECM and the second fan I am going to wire to a relay and switch mounted in the car. The new fans are so much smaller, more efficient, and far more powerful. Because I can't get in the car, I can't bleed the system. I did pressure test it and all is good to go, but the point of the car is to drive it

As you have the trunk open, reach in to far top corner of boot and there’s a manual release for each door.

Well, what was bad, has turned worse. I did find one red handle, but the cable and the handle had parted ways. I drilled out the rivets hoping to grasp on to any remaining cable, but the cable was frozen in the sheath and apparently was never connected. Never could find a handle on the passenger side.





There is a tiny gap in the drivers window so I tried with a coat hanger, but cannot seem to get a good angle on the release handle. I did hook it, but it keeps slipping off. Probably more of an angle problem than anything.

Is there any way to power up the door locks with a power probe?

I just did a test, and the inner door buttons do open the door when the car is locked. This is good news for you smile.

To simulate pressing the driver or passenger inner door button, just ground out the relevant pin of the door & window control box, which is easy as you have the boot open.

The pins are shown in the first post of this thread, labelled LH Inner and RH Inner:
