I left an interior light on in my car last night and killed the battery. One of the negatives of having one of the small PC680 batteries (which has been doing great by the way).
Try to open the car with the key in the door and it won't open! Same problem I think as MarkP had. I swear this car has never had the driver's door lock modified.
Oh, and to make matters worse, I am pretty sure the rear seats are locked too.
So how do I get in to my car? Is there a way to pop the front hood?
Alternatively, is there a way to hook power to the battery from anywhere? Maybe from under the car??

If you have all of the keys provided by the dealer.. then try to use the key with no remote. On my
car for some reason that is the only key which works on my lock. Also spray some WD40/lubricant in the key hole and wiggle the key around a bit. Turn it right to left rapidly. I know it feels like the key is going to break when you try to turn it but trust me, that is the only way to get in your car. Been there done that.

Lance (LCP) posted that there's a way to open your hood separate from the release. Might email/ask
him for the how-to. Do you have enough room to unhook the latch if you pull the grill?
