Nope, nothing doing although on the bright side, after searching the forum I now know it’s something I need to fix. |

Check underneath, you might just get to attach a jump lead to the starter motor cable.

You should be able to use the key in the door lock to open it, the lock will be covered by a plastic cover piece which needs popping off. Iirc it’s on the passenger door. You should then be able to put the key in and turn it.

As above you just need to put 12V on pin 9 and an earth on pin 13 of your towing socket. Bits of wire pushed into them and connected to a battery would allow you to open the doors. |

It’s an easy mistake to think that the plastic cover on the passenger door handle is the actual lock, as I found out .... |

Thanks Joe, had a look at a few 7 pin wiring diagrams but none make as much sense as this.

Tried that and it looked like it needed too much effort to get it off, which either means it not supposed to come off, or it’s another feature unique to some models and not others. I quit before I broke it. |
