I recently saw a distraught young lady weeping beside her car. 'Do you need some help?' I asked.

She replied, 'I knew I should have replaced the battery to this remote door unlocker. Now I can't get into my car. Do you think they (pointing to a distant convenience store) would have a battery to fit this?'

'Hmmm, I don't know. Do you have an alarm, too?' I asked.

'No, just this remote thingy,' she answered,  handing it and the car keys to me.  As I took the key and manually unlocked the door, I replied, 'Why don't you drive over there and check about the batteries. It's a long walk.

I once lock my keys in the truck in town just after getting it.  I had a friend, off duty office unlock it.  I now also lock the truck using the remote from outside the truck not the switch inside the truck.

For some reason mine locks it's own doors for no reason, so I've made it a habit to always take the key with me.
When it's warming up, I make sure I have the other key before closing the door, because I've had the damn thing lock me out before while running.
That is the only issue I've had with it since I bought it 6 years ago.

My book said you can not lock the doors when the motor is off and the key is in the ignition.  Not so it will lock. 

Did you check in the book and see if that away to shut that off?

I know for a long time if I forget to shut off my light with the ignition key out I have to turn the key back on just to turn them off on my truck.  But I found out by accident that if it turn them on and off two times I don't have to do that.

I asked the dealer and they said it needs to be reset by the computer.
Nah, I said it's a good lesson for me to keep my keys with me.

2 Head light
2 Tail lights
1 Turn light
1 Driving light, from a rock.
2 windshields, also from rocks.

Remember when I bought mine and posted it at LNF? Also remember that pissy little moron that claimed these trucks were a piece of shit, that he knew all there was to know because he drove one for a company he worked for, claimed it was always breaking down.
Can't remember his name, he was a captain in the army at one time, so he claimed anyway.
Boy does he look like the fool now.

Hell, he was a Mod and ran Hardhat.
He hated me, I think admin told him to go after me, but I slapped his dumb ass at every turn.
Admin was afraid I would take over.

I think the only active Mod now is on the Christian Forum  MFA.

Then there is Jas in Sports Forum and Entertainment Board.
