Locked keys in toyota 4 runner. have slim jim wanted picture of door schmatic to find proper linkage to jimmie.

Best bet is to call a lock smith and have him get in the car for you. Later model cars are designed to prevent slim jim from working in mast cases. The cost of the locksmith will be small compared to the possible damage and having to replace broken window, linkage or wiring in the door.

i had same problem with a mitsubishi fto , tried the coat hanger thing got the passengers door unlocked but it still wouldnt open, rang the automobile association, he came along and did the same as i did to passengers door , to the drivers door and presto he was in,so maybe the drivers door has the master control, or ring a dealer for that make and model they might be able to put you on the right path.

You probably knocked the door linkage off during the slim jum operation, You will need to remove the inner door panel and re-connect the door handle linkage. Hopefully you did not break the plastic clip.

You really don't have any other options then to call a locksmith or find someone who owns a slim jim and open it that way.A slim jim is what most police departments use to open car doors.That might be something you want to try call your local police department they might even help you out.

Lots of things inside your door that a slim Jim can destroy. But basically slide it between the window and the rubber seal at the bottom of the glass. The idea is to hook onto the door lock linkage and pull up or push down. I'd really recommend letting a professional do it with modern lockout tools. Very easy to break stuff with that tool.

if you know what it is that you are trying to grab inside the door with a slim jim then 'yes' it is possible to open the car this way. but if you have never slim jim'ed this type of car before then it is best to have a locksmith come out and do it proper. there is a chance that you could knock off a linkage rod and make this situation even worse.
but if you want to give it a try then I will try my best to tell you what it is that you are looking for inside the door. near the back of the door where the door latch is located,, you are trying to grab onto the inside linkage control tab that is on the latch itself,,, with the slim jim you should feel a spongy feeling while pushing down,, at that point slide the slim jim in alittle and twist and then lift up --- this should unlock the car.
now there is another way of attacking this door,, but you will need to use a heavy wire bent like a 'L' and at the bottom of the 'L' you make a small hook to grab onto the inside control linkage rod ( inside the door ) --- you will need the heavy wire,a propane torch ( to bend the wire ) and two small wooden wedges to wedge the window away from the door skin. if you have your tool made ,, go about mid way to the front of the door and lower tool into the door about 7 inches and try and hook the linkage -- watch the inside lock control for movement while you fish for it,, grab it and move it backwards -- this will unlock the door.
'if you do try to slim jim the car - I would recommend trying the passenger side door so if anything does happen to one of the linkage rods, then it will not affect the drivers door.
I know that this all sounds kinda tuff and time consuming -- and it is,,, that is why I would still say to call a locksmith and have them come out to the car and pop it open for you,, they will be there in about 20 minutes -- it will take them 2 minutes to open the car and the cost will be about 45 to 55 dollars for this service. now you can also call a taxi service or a tow truck service and they might do it slightly cheaper then the locksmith company -- but they are far from qualified to do the job ( but they can get it open cheap -- ) -- I would stick with the skilled locksmith ...

A lot of newer cars can't be opened with a slim jim anymore. A good kit uses a small bag that inflates with air to allow a long rod to unlock (electric door locks) These work much better.

a slim jim is not a good ideal to be using in todays cars and trucks with airbags everywhere and wires inside doors..call a pro and if he pulls out a slim jim send him packin...there a re far better tools to use than a slim jim
