WTF, car won't open anymore?

So my car got 2 flats, unfortunately I have to ditch the G-Games rims because 2 of them are bent, so the car has been sitting in the garage for about a week, now I can't even open the car, I'm guessing the battery died? BUT WHY! Can I just connect the battery to my jeep while its running and that will give me enough juice to open my car?
HELP ME, I have HAD iT WITH THIS CAR!

Use your key to manually open it.

The key not only starts the car, but also opens it!

You need a jump and see if your battery begins to recharge

so you can't open anything?? if you can open the trunk and get the armrest to open as well, you can use some hangers or something to open it.

i guess you tried opening both the driver side and passanger side with the key?... if you can't get the door open then you can't get the hood to open too... unless you have hood pins that holds the hood like me...

I tried both doors, nothing, I can't go through my trunk because its locked as well and I have no keyhole on it(as well as a full trunk setup), my hood does have hood pins So i can open that. but thats it, I can break into my passenger door (again for like the 5th time) But I rather not. If I just hooked the battery up to my other batt would it get ANY juice?

Sure it would. Hook it up to your jeep while it's running, leave it for a bit, and you should have enough power to open the car up. Might want to check your alternator and (obviously) the battery in the max, once you get it started.

Just jumped it with the jeep, I also have a code 0505, but that apparently is nothing. 0504 is automatic transmission or faulty battery and since I don't have an auto Im guessing my battery was on its way out.

I'm assuming you have carbon fiber hood for those hood pins.. so i'm also assuming you like weight reductions... get a new battery... one of those lightweight ones while your at it.
