[xj] Help! Locked Out

XJ
1

I posted this on the XJ-S Forum. Although this is an XJ-S
questions, maybe someone on this list can help.

I just locked myself out of my 1990 XJ-S with the engine running. I
must have hit the remote when I started the car. I shut the door
while I was outside, and I couldn’t get back in. I am 40 minutes

AAA is coming to unlock the car, is there anything that I should be
aware of? Can they damage anything with a slim jim?

Thanks,
Henryfrom my extra set of keys. Everything is locked.

They won’t damage anything, Henry, at least they didn’t on mine - watch
and learn…:slight_smile:

But it shows one further drawback on simple remotes…:-))

In reply to a message from Frank Andersen sent Sun 29 Feb 2004:

Frank,
It all worked out. No damage, took 20 minutes. I’m much more
careful now.
