This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

here is the scoop. I bought a used 2000 996 c2 cab 5 months ago that was in really bad condition and have been rebuilding it as money comes in. I bought the car with only 1 key, the remote on the key does not work. has not been a big deal, its on the list to get fixed. i have been using the key to lock and unlock the door. So saturday night i locked the door and it felt like something broke inside the door. now my car is sitting locked, alarm armed and I have no way to get into it. I have the key in my hand .... bought it doesn't work. I have called 2 locksmiths and neither said they could get into my car. I was able to get into the trunk, but that doesn't help get in my car. do I brake a window? how would the dealer get in? I am far from rich, the only dealer here in Tampa has already said it would be around $1k before everything is done. somebody out there has had to of had this problem before.

POST 2Original post

I think I remember reading a thread on Renntech.com about a chord on the driver side wheel well thaat will get you into the trunk, and then another step to access the passenger compartment. Sorry not more help.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

got in.... anybody that has this problem place a wedge between the front and rear windows straighten out a wire hanger; electrical tape the end up really well, reach in and pull the inner door handle.. worked for me anyway.
