How do I open the door on a 2006 Ford GT with no power? I took out the battery to replace it and the latch to open the front hood/compartment is not working.

I've never tried, but apparently the door can be opened with the key, as in the key actually releases the latch, albeit with some effort https://www.fordgtforum.com/forums/threads/need-help-to-open-the-door.21005/

More, "key WILL open door. You have to PUSH IN on the door at the same time you are turning the key in the keyhole. It is difficult, so be careful, but it will open the door...." https://www.fordgtforum.com/forums/...t-into-car-key-wont-open-the-door-help.17116/

Good luck!

Did you happen to read the owner's manual? Try page 30.

Download it to your phone from Ford. No need to carry it with you.
