Hello all,
Today when I put the battery back on my scorpio it has locked me out. When the battery was re-connected the central locking operated and locked me out. I only have 1 key and 1 remote control and they are in the ignition. Is there a quick fix for this problem?
Cheers Allan

There is "something" you can do to get into the car without causing damage.
I don't have this info but someone who does will be along shortly (probably Snoopy).

There is some complicated electrical way to do it which takes a bit of time, seen people on here do it before.
I have two complete sets of glass if you need any

There is another way. I had a problem with my scorpio when I first got it. That was the keys would not work in the doors and the key fob was iffy. I basicly got a bit of wood, and cut a 45 Degree angle in it, wedged this into the top of the door, then got a long stick (broom handle) with a coat hanger hook attached to the end. And the rest obvious (hook the lock handle)
p.s. I would only recomend this if you have no other option. Or if you have AA or RAC cover, use these guys.
Also I have been very careful and not done any damage to the paint work or door, and had to do this many times.
