Hi All, I took the battery out of my car this morning to charge it but before I did this I locked my key with the key fob. I am now unable to unlock the car with the key on the none driver side door.
The door seems to unlock but the door button is not openeing the door when I press it.
That is the only place there is a lock barrel.
Any idea how I can get back into the car or how I can open the hood to put the battery back in so that I can open the door with the remote key fob.

Cheers in advance

When my hood latch cable broke a few years ago, I had to manually open the hood latch using a long screwdriver to reach up "BEHIND" the latch and trigger the release lever.
Once you do this, then you could install your battery and open the door with the key fob hopefully.
Later on I would highly recommend looking into why your key won't operate the lock/unlock mechanism on the door.

One video showed going through the grill with a socket and long extension and unbolting the hood latch. Never tried this myself, but I know that if you can get up behind the latch with a lever or screwdriver, you can release the hood lock latch.

You can watch this YouTube video, it shows how he did it a Jeep Cherokee, but the latch is the exact same as the one on the Jeep Liberty.

Good luck.
