Locked out. Help..

Got a call from a neighbor last night to tell me that my left park light was on, so I went out and turned it off, h/l switch got nocked to left park light position. This morning can’t unlock with fob or key into lock ,seems battery is dead ,was replaced a year ago new batteries in fobs. Key will turn to lock position but not to unlock. Started having problems with both rear doors not unlocking with fob. How in the H! do I get into this thing short of a cutting torch. Any help GREATLY appreciated.

This place is a joke.

Insert and turn blade in drivers door tumbler, hold in position, pull drivers door handle rapidly several times.

FYI... leaving that park light on overnight shouldn't kill the battery. That's exactly what that park light is designed for and the battery in these vehicles, like many German cars, are very large. Charge it up - but then get it load tested.
