my trunk wont open!!

[SHOmethewayhome]

i bought a black 89 last year that you could only open with the keyless pad... till OffroadSHO pulled the battery cables out and the drivers door got taken off.

i left parts in the trunk and used my own key to open it.

a 10lb sledge hammer.

*shrugs*

last i checked, the car was going to be turned in to guard rails and deck lids aren't SHO specific if i planned on keeping the car. three good whacks and it was open.

I moved the carpet and unbolted it. then I bent the little metal finger the lock uses. I can't use the lock but every thing works now. Should take less then a half hour.

You can also just remove the lock cylinder so the lever isn't/doesn't lock(ed).

Dammit...

And you wonder us older guys call you Forum kiddies.....not meant to be a compliment

FIX IT RIGHT!!!!!

SHOs are not for folks with no money. Do the job right, and have the satisfaction of a job well done. Cheap-ass fixes are ********.

So...you don't approve of my door lock repair?

i went to jyard got all matching trunk/glove box/trunk release cylinders. witht the keys

 

[zach44102]

heres your sign.

If you get a small screwdriver, loosen the plastic cover and push the lock mechanism up from the bottom. Should pop easily.

Isn't the keyless code printed on a sticker somewhere in the glove or in the trunk?

I had a young kid play around with the key pad and would unlock the doors and pop the trunk in under 5 minutes almost every time. Kinda not a secure feeling.

the gen 1 and 2 taurus is so easy to get into without damaging anything. All you need is a skinny, longish screwdriver. I can unlock doors, defeat a locked trunk popper...all in less than a minute.

The only thing I can't open without damage is the glovebox. Maybe I'll make a vid...

Ummm... how about not doing that.:cuss:

 

[93rev2sev]

Why...afraid the "15-20 Year Old Taurus Theft Ring" will find out about it? At least they won't have to break anything to steal the car...except the ignition...

 

[luigisho]

Not worried about the theft ring. I just don't see the point of giving clueless idiots a heads up on how to make trouble. There's enough out there. No point in making their idiocy easier or more diverse.

You need to use your powers for good not evil.:angelnot:

My mom had a rental sable with the code when I was a kid, and I pressed the buttons for a while until I got the door to unlock. I don't even think I knew what those buttons were there for...

 

[zach44102]

that is scary how easy it is.

i pulled out the drivers side rear speaker then found the code for the keyless on the module which is located right under the speaker. Took me all of 2 minutes
