While my car was in my driveway some "knuckle head" tried to break in to my car and messed up my locks on both passenger and driver's door. Now, I can not get in to my vehicle using the key (key fob is broken) and it sat soo long it that the battery died.
So, what I did was, I went through the truck and removed this "preforated" metal plate that lead to the rear armrest. I did this and had a neighborh's child climb through and pop the hood so that I could jump it.
Well, all went wonderful until I asked the kid to pull the lock up or pull the door handle and it wouldn't budge. So, I jumped the car got in to the vehicle "Dukes of Hazard" style. My problem is: How can I be able to unlock the doors again? Why won't the locks pull up and my handles stuck? Will I have to acutlly spend the $129 for drilling my locks and $500+ for the locks/key replacements like BMW of Modesto, CA told me???? Please tell me there is something else I can do that is cheaper or give me some instructions on how to correct the problem!!!!
