Default Very annoying situation!

My battery run out, no problemos you say, but the thing is the doorkey cylinder is pushed in(was like this when i bought the car and didnt think much of it since i always use the remote keys anyway) Is there anyway I can open the car manually, In the trunk? or something?

Not if you have a later model. My '07 only has one lock cylinder, in the driver's door. Nothing on the passenger side and nothing in the tailgate. GM probably saved a buck per truck by eliminating these parts, figuring everybody will use their remotes anyway. Which is fine unless you run into the OP's dual problem.

If the remote's battery is dead, it's probably similar to a watch battery. If the vehicle's battery is dead, you'll have to track down the hood release cable and tug on it to pop the hood.

Thank you all for trying to solve this, problem solved with a friendly neighbor working as an locksmith opened the hood for me. I´ll guess i should get the lockcylinder fixed, Second time around now my battery run out. First time i was lucky enuff that one of the doors was opened.

Take care!

didn't the 07 have a TSB about the battery?

wouldn't it sitting long enough allow enough juice to pop the locks via the keyless?

The other option would have been to attach a battery charger to the starter cable since it runs right to the battery....
