Hauntedsoul Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 (edited) I went to unlock my journey from inside my house, got outside and the car doors were still locked. I tried again and wasn’t unlocking. The lights on the car were not even flashing. At first I thought it may be the key fob battery, replaced it and it didn’t work. now here comes the fun part. I pull out my mechanical key to unlock the door, key goes in and will turn both ways but will not unlock the car door. I’ve never used the key and bought the car used. So now I’m locked out of my car, I have googled with no solution and lost on what to do. Edited February 21, 2020 by Hauntedsoul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhareFred Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 If the key turns it should be the correct key. My only thought would be call AAA for lock out assistance (you can join then request). They could help you with a jump as well. Other option might be a locksmith. You didn’t say how long you’ve had the car, if recent try the dealer.... 2late4u 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2late4u Posted February 22, 2020 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 (edited) 2016 probally the original car battery, probally dead, well tomorrow is sat, if he cant get in and if its the org battery, i would just go ahead and replace it and hoped that was the problem,time to call some friends over with a jack and jack stands and a few tools and pull it and have it checked or replaced.good luck P.S. welcome to the group even tho its because of a problem Edited February 22, 2020 by 2late4u spelling OhareFred 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhareFred Posted February 22, 2020 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 True, no need to open the hood. Battery is in front of drivers wheel. Great idea, what have you got to lose? jkeaton and 2late4u 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2late4u Posted February 22, 2020 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 being a 2016 surely he has full coverage and almost all insures offer towing and such for just a few bucks per yr. that way he could get in pop the hood and get a jump.oh well jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even CLOSE to being mean.....yet..?? larryl, Armando G, 2late4u and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We kindly recommend having your dealer inspect this concern for you as they are in the best position to assist. If you do work with your dealer, we would be more than happy to provide you with additional support. Rob DodgeCares Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
