I was TRAPPED LIKE A BEAVER in my own car!

So I took off the door panel and saw that the linkage that connected the interior door handle to the cable that operates the latch had come loose. A couple of minutes with a pair of fine needlenose pliers and it was as good as new.

 

damn, that sucks. glad you make it out alright.

a friend of mine had locked herself in her car(sounds weird i know) but it was something about her battery and her locks. she could not unlock the car or roll down the window or even pop her trunk. she was parked in between some cars so it was tricky for me to give her a jump. she was stuck in her car for about an hour (she didnt know who to call) before i got there. it was in the middle of summer too.

a gerber would be handy to have inside the car. he he.

 

Sounds allot like the girl standing outside her car crying because she couldn't get into her car, (seems the battery had died on her keyless entry) so along comes this guy takes the keys from her hand places the key in the lock and opens the door............I find it hard to believe that car manufacturers have not provided a way to open the car manually should there be a power problem.

 

yeah, i thought it was stupid that she was not able to get out....actually i was laughing when i first got the call and thought it was a joke. when i got there i watched while she tried to pull the locks, pop the trunk, the windows and nothing worked. this is a very bad design by the maker. her situation could have been worse.
