In Reply to: Locked out---Dead Battery posted by Tracy J. Evans on March 02, 2002 at 20:23:06:

you can see you have to go beyond 90 degrees.

Okay, my battery is dead and I'm locked out. I've tried the turning the key and lifting the door handle to no avail. I can open the trunk with the key, but that's it.

I've hear that it might be possible to use a coat hanger to pop the hood and then jump a battery to get the locks working.

Anyone have experience with this? Oh, it's an 89 750iL.. and I can see my bently book sitting in the back seat.
