Default can't get in!

I was gone a couple days, returned, and cannot get into my 2012 F150. My 2 fobs, 3 keys, and door keypad do not work. The keys turn L/R but do not unlock or lock the doors. Dealer said to tow it there. Ideas anyone? Jonathan

Your key does not manually unlock the door? That's not right at all. Key should override any electronics for the door lock mechanism.

that's correct; none of the 3 options do anything. I had no indications of a bad battery or anything prior to leaving town.

WOW...Guessing you didn't buy it new...Pop the hood with a screw driver,you can probably see where the cable goes to the latch, on an 07 a 10" long screwdriver works, throw a jump pack on the battery and try the keypad.
OR
put the jump pack to the starter positive cable and try the keypad

You sure you have the right truck you're trying to get into?

Okay, a bit of a joke but had to ask. Hope you figure it out.

Wouldn't that be awkward finding out after prying open the hood.

The key has no electronic mechanisms behind it - doesn't make sense why it's not working though?

The mechanical linkage is NOT obstructed by an electrical/electronic failure, if the key don't work, then you need to open the door panel and figure out why,.....or move on to an easier to steal vehicle.... just saying.
