!@#$# Just locked my Keys in the car, no Spare.. Question

[nazology]

The lot I park in when I go to class puts the car in a handy cap spot, but I leave the keys on the floor just incase a Chicago cop decides to cop ticket it, they can move it. Well this morning, for some reason I threw the keys on the floor and closed the door, but the doors we're locked. I have no spare set. Is there any specific thing I can do, I called the dealer, he said they cant do anything. If I call someone who can get in, is there something specific they should know, basically anything you guys can tell me Thanks in advance

P.S Worst morning ever

I do not know of any great solution. The dealer should be able to make a new key for you (they can look up the key code). You probably need proof of ownership to get it though (or so I should hope).

Didn't your car come with 2 keys and fobs? The fob should get you in as well.

Your dealer CAN help.

They need the VIN number, and they can build a new key (no fob needed)

Use the "secret" key opening in the driver door panel to open the door... grab 'yer key....

and don't ever do that again!

Calling dealer now. Good thing is my first class ends up being cancelled! Something finally goes right. [******]!!!

I am looking over the schematics now... it appears in Gen-3, they did not leave any provisions for opening the doors by any other means than the Key, or the BCM via the Fob. All wiring is contained within the dash, with no accessible points.

Good and bad I guess...haha

Joseph Houss thanks man. You had me outside the car looking around the door like " What the hell is he talking about" Than finally I crouch and see this "secret" key hole. Delightful! Dealer made me a key, my friend has class tonight downtown where im at so im just killin time until he gets down here. Thanks again fellas for the super quick replies. Cheers

As a reminder. When using the "secret" keyhole it helps to push in on the door while turning the key. Makes it much easier to turn.

It may feel like you key will break off, but it takes quite a hard turn to unlatch the door.

A big thank you to Dodge for including the "secret" keyhole. It has saved quite a few of us.

I understand where your coming from, but being a college student, I do enough reading. The last thing on my mind when I picked up my Viper was, " Let me drive her home and read the manual" but I think I eventually should. Maybe if they make a GEN 4, ill read that manual.

naz, which dealer did you call for the key?

It'a amazing how many people never read their owners manual. I always tell them, they will find at least 3 things they didn't know about their car if they do.

I'll tell you what, Paul hawker told the best advice.
I knew about the key hole but the day that i needed to use it I screwed with that key hole for 20 minutes almost breaking the key off and then finally i was leaning against the door with my shoulder getting pissed and i turned the key with alot of pressure on my shoulder and the door popped right open. So now I know to push on the door when using the key.....

nozology you have a pm

You can actually open the car from under the hood. If I remember correctly you probe the green& white wire onthe control terminal block and touch it to the plus side of the battery and the doors will pop open. Check this with a previous thread for the exact details but it can be done from under the hood for sure.

Note to self - set alarm any time I park near Steve Loudin

P.S. I recall the thread as well. I think we were concerned about that hitting the internet and the method was passed in personal note form. I remember saving it but just cannot remember where. Damn age.
