What are my options for unlocking a Ford Fusion 2016 with no key to unlock the door and a dead battery?
If I could find a way to open my hood to charge the battery, that would be wonderful, but I can't.
Dealer? Locksmith?
Why don't you have a key?
Read the manual. There's a hidden key slot in the handle.
Make nice with the service dept at a Ford dealership… All cars have emergency procedures for such situations, whether it's a way to pull the hood release, a place to power-up the electrics, etc. Probably not in the Owners Manual, but in the big Shop Manual (and that might be accessible online).
Locksmith
Try asking the owner.
Can you get UNDER the car?
Connect the positive clip of a portable battery charger to the (+) battery cable at the starter (usually red in color) and the negative clip to the engine block or something bolted to the engine.
Most people don't think to go under the car, but that's the only way with a dead car battery and a key fob.
Of course you need to know where the starter is. You may have to jack up the front of the car, because many modern cars are very low to the ground. Be safe. Use a jackstand.
Experienced car repair people know how to do things like this. I've been doing it for 3 decades. Armchair mechanics never think of it, because they are inexperienced.
- On my 2004 ford fusion my fob don't work the alarm sounds soon as I put the key into the door and turn it? If I pull the central locking fuse out the alarm stops so it's drivable but was wondering what could be doing it as I was thought to believe if I put the key into the ignition the alarm should stop but it don't any ideas would be most appreciated
- Key won't unlock car door? I have a 2007 Ford F-150. My key will start my car and unlock the passenger side door however it won't unlock the drivers side or the trunk. It's a manual so there's no key fob or remote unlock of any type. First it was just the trunk now it's the door. Not really sure what could be causing it but how could I possibly fix it without a locksmith

- 2001 Ford Explorer keypad on door will not unlock/lock the front door. It will unlock/lock the other doors Would there be a loose wire? Could it be a fuse? If so anyone know which one? Or could it be something else? I'm trying to fix my aunts car so they don't have to take it somewhere.
