Hey guys. I am locked out again.

2008 G37s

There is no key tumbler under the little cover panel to the right of the door pull. I take off that cover and there is another plastic cover underneath. Where on my car does the manual key in the key fob go????

There has to be a way in:?

Thank in advance
David

 

IIRC, the driver door had a exposed keyhole until 2010. Not to say the cover couldn't have been replaced (I did), but even then the driver-side door HAS to have a key cylinder. It comes that way from the factory.

Pics of you lock? If there truly isn't one there then someone, somehow, removed it.

 

Okay. Pictures coming up./

 

I can not take off that black cover. It wants to break.

 

That is a passenger-side handle. Apparently, the previous owner- for whatever reason- replaced the door handle with a passenger-side unit rather than the correct driver-side handle. This is why there is no lock cylinder.

Best advice, find someone with a "slim jim" and see if they can open the door.

I assume the battery is dead?

 

Go in through the trunk?
charge the batt at the starter lug under the left wheel well if you have to

 

Okay. thank you. That is the first explanation I've heard that makes sense. Thank you. Yes. Dead battery. I feel though haven't verified, is that the car has a slow drain on the battery somewhere.

 

It worked. Thank you.
