Keys Locked in teunk
My son Locked my keys, in my trunk...both sets! I have someone on the way to unlock the car now but I’m reading that even if he can pop my door with a slim Jim the trunk release in the door still won’t open the trunk and since the seats go down from there, ama I totally out of options besides towing it to a dealer and paying an arm and a leg??? Right before Christmas too help me out here guys!!! It’s an 07 e 350

Go to the dealer with proof of ownership. Request a spare metal key (not the entire key fob); it should arrive the next day. Use that key to open the trunk.
Edit: if the door is locked and then popped open from the inside, the alarm will activate and you cannot shut it off without the key fob. It should eventually shut off but it's going to really annoy you and your neighbors.

Not sure who posted this advice but THANK YOU, you’re the man!!! As I was walking out my front door roadside assistance was popping my door open with a slim Jim ( guy must’ve been born & raised in Newark Nj or something..) I pulled the cover off the fuse box on the drivers side,( left of the steering column) & removed the 4 fuses from the bottom on left side. Waited 30 seconds, & put them back. It reset the alarm system, and allowed me to use the trunk release on the drivers side door & the trunk opened. Grabbed the keys and disarmed the alarm. Again thank you so much if we had to pay $150+ the week before Christmas (plus towing, etc. ) kids presents would’ve been a little light. Extremely grateful
