So, stupid moment here...
Imagine this, you have the bonnet open and the keys in the ignition. The ignition is in the ON position, but the engine isn't started. Then you forget and close the door, which is locked.
Now, imagine that happened with the car blocking your other car on your driveway...
After swearing profusely a few times, I've had an idea.... surely the wiring for the vacuum pump that powers the door locks is somewhere in the engine bay... or maybe even the wiring behind the button on the dashboard.
So, does anyone have any idea if this is possible?
Alternatively, any other suggestions as to how to unlock the doors on the car, before the battery goes flat with the keys inside? I have access to the engine bay, but not the inside of the car...
