Guess lesson learned is not to close doors when battery is non functional...
'Door should still open 'manually' by using the key as I recall. Someone correct me if I'm wrong on that.

Door will open manually with the key. Or you could leave the window open if doing something with the key in the car. That way you can reach in and open using interior latch.
Hmmm. When do you give up on Optima? My original is still strong.
I recently locked my Keys in the trunk!My wife had to drive 2 hours to get my extra key! She was bummed .I had to reward her by making dinner .The worst part was I got stuck in a torrential down pour on the way home .I was on used Hoosiers and no wipers!It was probably my most scary experience in a car.When I got home I ordered some new Bridgestone Potenza's for my GT and put a wiper in the trunk.Of course now I have no trunk space! Just wanted to let you know your not the only one to lock your keys in your car!But I will say the Bridgestones ride quality is far superior to the Hoosiers for street use.The last time I had street tires on the car was 2006!
Took out the car this morning for work, was on its biweekly round to keep all the bits working. Started out all fine then the check engine light comes out, so I take out the obdkey just to check that it is the o2 sensor on the catback, no code found.
I stop to refuel, so far so good, get back in the car and things get interesting. Insert keys sounds and lightt first are normal then all gauges go banana (tach at 6 o clock), dash light act weird and no ignition. Odo disappears and then reset.
First thing I try is to disconnect battery for a reset, after having found the tools I manage to do it, leave the key inside the car on ignition open (to have all circuit open) and then very smartly close the door... So I am looked out with my other cars keys, wallet, house keys all inside. After 3 hours of calls and some very helpful friend that come to watch out for the car (in the middle of the street but with keys on ignition... Not very nice) I manage to get to the second house key, then to the second car keys and finally unlock the car.
Tried to restart it afterwards, at the beginning some strange bells but no Cranking, after second attempt nothing at all, just odometer works and door mechanism. All the rest is fried. Checked fuses but they seem fine.
After 4 hour and a stressfull morning I am now waiting for a trailer to roush, any clues of what could have happened? I have a very nasty feeling that I am due for a 5k gauge replacement at least (or speedhut) plus a new ecu?
