Antitheft was turned off and only way in is turning the switch on which is on the left hand side closest to the steering wheel. You will then probably have the issue of the car not wanting to start. You then at that point have to turn the ignition in the lock position and remove the key. Make sure all doors including hood and trunk are closed and in the lock position. Wait thirty seconds until security light begins to blink and then put your key in the driver door and unlock the vehicle. ( I have to hangout my window to do this) then you will be able to start the car. To determine if you are going to be able to start the car is I always look for what looks like to me as a bird cage on the dash next to the word anti theft. It will only appear if you are not going to be able to start the car

Does it not unlock any of the doors? if it doesnt unlock any doors run down to the dealer and give them your vin number they will be able to cut you a key based on that. make sure you take your registration to prove you own the car. fortunately your car is the first gen ls400 because if it was much newer it would have had to had a key programmed to start it. keys at the dealer shouldnt be too much but if they are too expensive, just snag a blank off ebay they are only about 10 bucks. good luck!

Vw golf mk4 my rear passenger door willnot open with central locking key system. i can't even open it from the inside, pull the door handle and the lock pin rises but door won't open. i believ

This worked for me on 2008 Mk5 Golf, after the rear passenger door would not open fro outside or inside.

Hold the inside door latch open and keep it extended, then with the key fob open and close the door locks (still holding the inside latch open). Keep locking and unlocking the door, then it made a kluck and it released.

2000 cadillac deville driver side won't open with the key

1) Key turns but dose not unlock door. This means that the rod that goes to the back of the lock has came off. This also means that is the reason door is not unlocking with the remote as it pops the lock rod inside the door which pushes the lock open.
2) Key does not turn lock at all but works passengers side door. This means that the locks has been changed in the door, but that doesn't sound like the problem as you say the remote doesn't open the drivers side door so more than likely the rod has came off the back of the lock

Car door lock stuck on 1990 Ford Crown Victoria

This car came standard with power door locks and the lock actuators are frozen up and this keeps you from turning the key to open the doors.

Just bought a used 1998 Volvo S70 (as is). Have 1 remote & it opens the car. Have 3 keys that all start the car, open trunk, but none of them can open the driver's door. That is the only door...

obvious and thats because someone has damaged the lock ,go to dealer and order a new lock for that door with the chassis number and change the lock ,unless the back of the lock mechanism is damaged do the keys turn in the lock and nothing happens or wont they do into teh lock??

Won't open my door when I press unlock, key won't open door either

can you manually unlock the lock and open the door?? Is it more than one door or just one specific door? If its just one door, yourcactuator inside the door may be bad or you have a wire issue. If its all the doors, more than likely you blew a fuse or a relay(id say fuse)
