How can i open my mitsubishi gallant door without a battery connected?

Question

I accidentally disconnected my car battery and locked all the doors, does anyone have an idea on how to open my car. The locks are electric and i own a 2002 Mitsubishi Gallant

Answer 1

Well, if it's anything like BMWs, they key only turns a SWITCH to unlock the doors, not the lock mechanism itself.  So, try the key first.  If that doesn't work, and you really want to play around, there are sometimes ways to back feed the electrical system with enough juice to opperate the locks.  You need to find a circuit outside the car like parking lights and hope if you feed in 12V, it will hit the distribution box and feed the locks.  It's risky and a long shot, but it sometimes works.  If not, call a locksmith and they will pop the locks for a nice fee.

Answer 2

Even with electric door locks, you still have a key.  If you can't figure that out, locksmiths still make house-calls.
