Default Re: Dead battery and key won't open door!

So I then tried to unlock the car the old fashion way but apparently something is wrong with the locking mechanism itself considering I could turn the key both directions but the car would not unlock. Who knows how long it's been like that - this is the first time in over 4 years of having the car that I have ever tried to unlock the car with the key itself. Going to try to unbolt the hood latch and see if I can get in that way. Wish me luck!
With the battery disconnected my key would open or lock the drivers door. Nothing else opened or locked.
