Default Need your help!

Hello Everybody

I want to know if there is a way I can get into my car. Heres the problem.

1. I just got from vacation and I think I left my lights or something on and it drained my battery so my key fob obviously wont work.

2. The week before I left to vacation my driver side door hinge broke. So I cant use the door handle from the drivers outside door. The way I delt with it that week was by holding the unlock button on my key fob so my windows would lower themselves and I would just reach in to my car and open the door from the inside. My goal was to fix it when I got from my vacation, but now I am stuck and its really bite me in the a$#.

So I would like to know if anyone knows how I can get into my car manually with having a dead battery and broken drivers side door handle.

Thanks guys. Hope you guys understand my explanation.

I know I can call AAA to have them open my car but trying to see if I can find a alternate route. Thanks .

Not sure how well this will work on a Z. But I could peal the window back a little and use a coat hanger with the 240.

That's what AAA will do.

The inside door handle will not open the door if the lock rocker button is in the locked position. I don't see how you could possibly move the rocker button with a coat hanger.

There's an old thread on this by travismaser here:
https://my350z.com/forum/maintenance...et-in-car.html

In post #10, he says "we finally got a guy who knew what he was doing and got the door open", but gives no details. Maybe he's still around and could tell you what the guy did.
