I am welcome to another video by Jim the
car guy today we're going to talk about
what do you do if you try to open up
your car you press the button on your
remote and it doesn't unlock what do you
do there's no more locks on the vehicles
anymore you don't have a lock here and
you don't have a lock on the other side
well don't worry about this really not a
big deal it's fairly simple to get into
it as long as you have the key we can
get into it now
frequently what happens when a battery
goes dead in the car your remote won't
work any longer because the battery is
dead in the vehicle so you need to get
into the car so you can get the battery
hood open so you can replace the battery
or charge the bathroom or whatever you
have to do alright so what you're
basically going to do is you're going to
take your key like this and as you
remember there is no keyhole inside it
over here I'm going to show you now how
open this up so there is a key a key
slot directly underneath here so let me
bring in a little closer I'm gonna show
you had to do it and we'll get this door
opened up and and that'll be in alright
so the first one is get this down here
so you could watch what I'm doing ok so
this is the where your actual key hole
is it's actually only that cover right
there but you want to do is you want to
be real careful because you don't want
to get in here with something fat such
as this key and try to pop it up there
you don't want to get in here with
anything real thick like this and get in
here you're gonna scratch the paint so
what we're going to do is are going to
take a very very small screwdriver such
as this and you come up underneath you
have very gently you put the screwdriver
in and you just pull it very very gently
because it's only made of plastic and
it'll break very easy once this pops up
like this just work it back and forth
gently and the clip comes right out see
there's a little tiny clip here you
don't want to break these because you
won't be able to put it back on alright
so this goes like this I'm just gonna
leave that hang just the way it is right
there
we take our trusty key such as this put
it in here like that
we can open the call just like that all
right there to put it back together all
you're basically gonna do is you're
gonna take your little plastic cover
like this put it back over the top like
this
buying these pieces up here with
underneath there like that and push it
very easy and a snap spike in just like
it was never like it was never damaged
or taken out or anything all right make
sure it snaps back in okay now obviously
you heard the alarm ringing on this
particular vehicle because the battery's
not dead the battery is actually fully
charged up well when you take your key
and you put the key into the key slide
and you click it on if you click it on
and off it'll actually turn the alarm
off as well in this particular case I
just pressed my remote because there was
nothing wrong with the battery all right
so that's a quick tip just in case you
ever find yourself with a with a dead
battery in the car or if you have a dead
battery on your remote if the remote
battery goes dead - that's also another
way that you can get in to the vehicle
at the same time so this vehicle is a
2019 Hyundai Santa Fe
most of the Hyundai's are all very
similar to this if not exactly the same
whether it's the Santa Fe or the Sonata
or even the newer the Kohner or whatever
they're all basically the same if they
don't have a key slot there is a way to
get into it you just need to get that
little cover off so you can get in there
so all right I hope I was helpful and as
always thanks for watching and let's see
how the next one
