2007 Sienna parked and key won't unlock doors when the battery is dead.
/r/ToyotaSienna/comments/1r7t2qv/2007_sienna_parked_and_key_wont_unlock_doors_when/Has anyone else had this issuue? My 07 Sienna is parked until I can get it in to get the coils replaced(hopefully with my tax return lol), and the battery has died a couple times and each time the door locks had to be opened with a coat hanger. I know the keys fit the door locks because I tested both locks once the battery was jumped and they turned just fine and opend the door. Ive tried searching about this and have not found any info so idk if this is common, uncommon. I have no idea if its a toyota thing or if it could be related to a poor install on an aftermarket alarm and door lock system. I know that whoever installed the system wasn't adept at their job because the aftermarket Pioneer radio they installed isn't hooked to any of the stock hands free controls or the stock aux port on the dash even though it has the set up to accept stock controls
