For those of you who are confused: The owner has had this car since brand new. The manual key that came with the car doesn’t unlock the doors. It turns but it doesn’t unlock them. If any of you have thoughts about that, let me know😉
get a key maker and make a new key for door to unlock door orignsl kry doesnt work for me
@@MalikAbbulWahab so making a new key worked for you? How though?
If I make a new key, it’ll look exactly the same like the current one and it will probably not work either
@@VITOSGARAGE driving side door has locked right ? if old key doesnt work then call a lock mater he ll make a new key that will work with lock i did this and work for me
@@MalikAbbulWahab
The driver's side only.
You just got my THUMBS DOWN! Guess why!
Just dropping a comment to confirm this happens to older models as well. I have a 2005 (gen 2) and had the 12v aux battery die while the doors were locked. I tried everything to get the door to unlock, and the manual key did nothing. I know for a fact that the key used to work, as my fob had recently died and I used the manual key to unlock the car not more than 3 weeks ago. After the battery died, it simply no longer does anything. Tried WD40, oil, jiggling the handle, all kinds of crazy stuff people suggest, and nothing worked.
I thought I was losing my mind, but this video saved me a lot of trouble, thanks!
Door pry/locksmith solution is what worked for you? I have a 2005 Prius and am going through this rn. Just gonna have AAA open it for me
@@MrOscar5690 haha thanks a lot... I've just been puzzling over how to break into my prius myself and I plum forgot I have AA breakdown cover so can just call and get them to do it.
I'm an automotive locksmith. We open 120-150 cars per week believe it or not.We also make lost keys. Your issue is very common and we haven't figured out why yet. Toyota,Lexus and Honda do this when the battery is dead. The emergency key turns but won't open the door. If you think about those are the only ones we see because people who got them open don't call us. We use professional tools that do no damage. Access Tools makes the best car opening tools. They are coated and do not scratch the car. We also see a lot of emergency keys that were never cut or miscut. Those will go in the cylinder but won't turn at all. The turning and not opening though is something I would like to figure out. Back in the day BMW's did something like this with a dead battery. They used micro switches on the door cylinder. They key would turn to a certain point and stop. You would lift the outside handle and that would allow the key to turn further and unlock the door. They also used a deadbolt feature.
That's exactly what is happening to me. Key goes in but doesn't turn. Thanks for the info.
Learning where the secret key is was all I needed. Thanks!
In the key fob.
You saved my life. Literally I just planned to broke my rear window glass. Thank you!
Just tried to unlock my Prius after the dead car battery was removed for charging (I had manually locked all my doors to my 2016 Prius without thinking). I was able to open the car just fine with the fob key into the drivers side door. Trick is to turn the key to the right, remove the key, then pull on the door handle. Make sure the key goes all the way in. It works :)
I got out of my Prius to jump the battery and it locked behind me with the fob inside. It’s 11 pm and I’m exhausted. Ugh.
Ok just had this exact issue. Heres the fix. Put key in. You'll notice you can turn it to the left and it doesn't seem to do much (thats probably actuating a switch but dead battery so nothing will happen). You now need to turn it further to the left. This took a bit of force for me. You'll feel a definite mechanical click. You can now open the door. Good luck.
Yeah that wasn’t the case for me lol
I know the video is old but I decided to reply the same, I had the same issue with the manual key but it turns out you REALLY have to put a lot of effort into turning the key. Like use a vice grip to increase the leverage and then turn.
If you’re using a vise grip you’re asking for trouble and you’ll break that key
after messing with key a few times it also opened for me
I wonder did you double lock it like click the lock button twice That's probably why the manual key did't work because my Corolla verso has same kind of key and it works fine
Wow, i literally went through/relieving the exact situation starting at min 6:50, today. But my AAA roadside assistance couldn't help open the door. F$%$. I think he was missing the tape like you had, or he should use a coat-hanger to have a smaller hook because each time he tried to open the lock. It would slipped off.
not gonna lie those hybrids are interesting... yet i love my w210 from 1997.
I love W210s!
Manual key not turning on many cars as not used in many years ,how to replace door key or open it to go key shop
It happened to me also but yes it possible to open, put key and turn left and pull handle
A battery with a voltage below 10.5V is damaged. We sometimes manage to revive it with a very.. very slow charge at the beginning and after return of the 12V... by using an intelligent charger, but we 'll never find 100% of the original capacity. This method can help out for lack of something better. This engineering mistake does not make you want to buy a Toyota.
It was my quarter of an hour of English revision. Bonjour de France et Bon Week End !
Thank you for your comment, sir! That’s good to know. And yes, there will be another video on this car about tires and battery replacement🙂
The 12v battery on my ‘07 died but it easily opened with the manual key.
No don’t break the glass I open my door using the key when you put the key in don’t put the key all the way in put it half ways n it will open the door.
I doesn't work when u put the key half way.. How did you do it?
Where can i bought tools like that to open doors?
Dealership
Ebay type emergency open tool i have those tools :D
@@VITOSGARAGE thanks.
I have the same car. Had a completely dead battery. My manual key worked just fine. Must have been something else going on with the car.
I tried mine and the key opened my door just fine. Same model and all. I think he was not turning it hard enough to the left.
The key might never have opened the car. Have you tested your key?
My key worked fine. I turned it and just opened the door.
You just need it to turn counter clockwise & should work,
It works with my Prius
No. It doesn’t work on this car😀
After all these my car still not opening
Open it manually how I did in the video
This problem is still in the car 2020 Prius Prime.
He was in for a nasty surprise, the battery was under the hood. That's with most vehicles where you can go underneath the car and pop the hood raise it, then switch the battery and your back in business. But the design flaw with the Toyota Prius c is that the battery is under the rear passenger seat. If you are stuck with a dead battery in that car, you go through some lousy inconvenience
But you can jump from the posts under hood in the fuse box.
Use the mechanical key works fine with my 2012 Prius c
Lol did you watch the video??… THE MECHANICAL KEY DID NOT WORK
You had to turn key to left and bring it back and take it out. You only did it with the right side, thats why it didnt worked
I did try it both ways multiple times. Even used some oil in the cylinder. The only way to open the car was to become a locksmith 😀
I’m going through this now. If the car is double locked (press lock on fob twice) and battery dies, the key will not work.
Older Prius battery in back
Turned, leave keys in it it, open back door it will open. I tried
pay for it
For what
what the hell
Which hell?
Garbage Toyota design
