Dead Battery / Cannot enter vehicle.
The battery is dead, the removable key does not open door or trunk. It does turn to the left and right but doesn't engage the lock to open
Is there some way to open the hood or enter the vehicle to open the hood?
Thank you for any help

So you insert the key into the door handle and turn it counter-clockwise. Do you see the lock pin raise? If not, then you likely have a bad lock linkage and you'll need to call a locksmith who can use a tool to grab and pull the door handle from the inside. As for the trunk, note that you have to turn the key AND pull the handle to open it:

Thanks for the answer , A few years back , I had brought the car to the dealer to replace the handle which was not closing the door correctly so they replaced the entire handle and never checked if the key worked , I asked if it was the same lock and that my key would work but I never physically checked it.
