2003 ford focus SE, WONT OPEN DOORS OR HOOD, Battery is dead dont have keys , they have to stay in the tumbler because broken pins.

There's a good chance it's the ignition switch. Before replacing get some electronics cleaner. It comes in a spray can. Spray the key, insert, and turn it back and forth. Do this numerous times. You can also spray a couple quick squirts in the ignition. Be sure to hold a rag over the can while doing so to prevent spray back. You don't want to get it in your eyes or even on your skin so wear ppe. Before starting your car let it dry for 10 minutes or so.

If this doesn't work I would replace the ignition switch.

Hope this helps.

Open the door manually with the key!

Many Ford Escapes have power door locks as standard equipment. This system consists of a lock switch, lock actuator and wiring harness. When you depress the lock switch, it sends an electronic signal through the harness to the actuator. The actuator moves an internal piston that either pulls the actuator hook down or pushes it up. The actuator hook connects to the lock rod, which either locks or unlocks the door, depending on which way you push the lock button. While this system won't work with a dead battery, the mechanical lock system remains unaffected by electrical power loss.

Insert the door lock key into the driver's door lock.
Turn the key counterclockwise one quarter turn.
Pull the door handle up until the Escape's door opens. Once the driver door is open, simply open the remaining doors by pulling the interior door handles until the doors open.

Why dont any of you ACTUALLY READ THE QUESTION????? He cant get in the car with a dead battery!!! You cant do any of the ignorant things you all posted if you can NOT ENTER the vehicle!

at this point you have 2 options, 1, go to a parts store and get a jimmy kit that helps you break into the car by unlocking the door, whicch sometimes can be tricky or if you have aaa they will unlock it for you for free, 2, you would have to reach from underneath and feel around for the cable, folow it to the latch assembaly and carefully release the latch assembaly, this way wil be very difficult and a tight area.
Good Luck.

If you are jumpering the starter, then the battery is not being drained, the starter may have a bad solenoid.
If the problem still is a dead short, a painstaking troubleshooting is required.
Remove one fuse at a time, check for voltage drop, and see which one is the culprit. Then you woud have to locate each item on that circuit and trace the wires for one that is broken, or pinched & contacting ground.
Also, check at night or in a dark garage, as trunk, door, or hood pin switches may be stuck in the open position - and will keep the lights on.

Interesting note - your having to jumper the solenoid on the starter indicates a possible worn/damaged ignition tumbler. If your tumbler is not seating on the OFF detent, your ACC may still be left on even with the key out of the ignition.

sounds like a dead battery, replce the battery, or jump start the car. after get someone who knows a little about cars to look at your alternator. if you have a checker or auto zone this is a free service..

good luck
