Suddenly, today I opened my car and found that its battery had died. Then I made an appointment to change the battery and closed the car with my key. Later, I tried opening my car with the remote key, but it wouldn't open at all! Not with the spare key either!
What should i do now!!
I can't open it manually and the battery inside is dead! Please help me, I cannot live without a care in this place I live in.

Use the manual key out of the fob to open the car. Then open the bonnet and charge the battery to enable the car to start to go to get the battery replaced or get someone to bring a new battery out to you

cheers

Full appreciate your instant support! Yes, we found the manual key but we have a strange issue now. The manual place has a lot of soil that closed it (it's been 5 years since we've used that place). Anyway, thanks for your help!

Once you get the soil cleaned out spray liberally into the lock with WD. The lock will be extremely stiff. Insert the plastic key and turn back and forth. DO NOT OVER TWIST! Just keep working at it. Spray again with WD40. Keep turning back and forth. It took me 15 or more minutes before the key would fully turn, then the lock released. Be patient but keep working it.
