Was surfing Facebook and saw someone had an issue where they could not unlock their Raptor with the FOB or the key. As the conversation progressed someone mentioned if the battery in the truck is dead neither the key or the FOB would unlock the doors, the solution is to hook jumper cables to the starter to get power to unlock the door.
So first question is. Is this really a thing? Ford designed a vehicle that if the battery dies you can't unlock the doors to open the door to jump or replace the battery?
Second question. To fix this issue... If it is a issue... Couldn't you simply take an old jumper cable, connect it to the positive battery post and route it to someplace accessable, secure it and seal it so it couldn't ground. So the truck could be given power without crawling under it.
