Not positive , but I thought I read somewhere on this site that there was a way to get to the pull handle for the door by taking out one of the rear tail lights, as far as that locksmith I would find someone else.

If you are asking about the rear key tumbler, the key turns right to unlock.

. You May have read that but no, you cannot reach the handle by removing a light.

no you can’t reach the pull just by removing the light. You have to do this.

[img]images/smilies/iagree.gif[/img] I hate to say it, but this will work. Been there, done that.

If the battery is disconnected, putting power to the starter or taillight wiring or anything is useless. I tried it all. Nothing worked. Either go to dealer and get a new key, or drill a small hole behind taillight. Then put black silicone to cover up hole.
