My Toyota 200 VX V8 has a dead battery and I can not gain access to open the hood and replace teh battery what should I do?

You can unlock the door with a slim jim, or coat hangar to gain entry into the cab. Otherwise you will have to remove the phillips screws that hold the grill on, and remove the grill to get to the hood latch.

The new battery maybe defective, the battery holder maybe loose or broken, the rubber between the 2 halves of the remote maybe not inserted properly or has defect, may need re-programming, may have damaged circuit board. battery is affected by the cold and can weaken it. There is possibility of electrical trouble(s) with the car itself, but commonly it is the remote that has the problem(s).

You should be able to ain access to the hood fromoutside the car. Hopefully you can access thrugh the grill with a long screwdriver to the latching mechansism

remove grille and move latch to open hood-boost battery and use key fob to enter or have locksmith or service station use a slim jim or other type of device to unlock door

I would call a lock smith and have him gain entry into your vehicle, then you can pop the hood and place a charge on the battery.....hope this helps.

If you have the keyless entry system, you either have a dead battery in the car, or in your key fob. Regardless, you can gain entry to the vehicle using the emergency key concealed inside your fob. Press the narrow button near the metal end of the fob to separate the parts. They metal piece has a key attached that fits into the lock on the driver's door.

The cheapest way to get around this and get enough voltage into the system to open the hood is to purchase a cigarette lighter extension (about 3 feet) and cut off the female plug on the end. Strip the 2 wires back a few inches and attach one to the positive and the other to the negative on a set of jumper cables. Attach the other end of the negative jumper to a battery. With the keyless entry in hand, touch the positive cable to the positive terminal on the battery and press the unlock button until you hear the car doors click. Once it clicks, you should be able to use the hood latch to gain access to the battery.
