Yep... here's the rest of the story.
Came home & started tinkering with it. It was a gamble in my mind because again, we're about 18 miles out of town and if I couldn't figure it out we'd either have to pay someone to come out or, drive back to town to get 'something'.
Used a blue bar (don't recall what it's called but it's used typically for nail removal or has one side for leverage)
Anyways, put a towel there to protect the car. Put the blue bar in and slid my electrical fish tape in. I knew I'd need something thin yet, stiff.
I was able to hit the (un)lock button but the silly thing would just bend rather than apply any pressure.
Wife in her thoughtfulness, brought me a substantially similar item that you'd use to snake through plumbing pipes. It was a bit wider than the fish tape I was using but, it also flailed around rather than applying the pressure to the button.
Scratching my head, I described to her what this was doing and how I needed it to be changed (more stiff yet very thin....)
She said....hmm.... try THIS!
Pulls out a metal piece. Don't recall why we have it but it was pretty stout. Had to bend it a bit as I was thinking instead of pushing the unlock button, I could get a straight piece of something, put a little hook on the end and "simply" move the lock itself rather than try to use the electronic button.
Had it in the door, had it on the lock 8-10 times...when I got to thinking... I swear I saw it move. I can't believe that I didn't have enough pressure on it. Then again....I was "pulling" the lock. Is that correct? Do I have to pull it or, would I have to push it?
I don't know that I've ever used the lock itself as I usually just hit the button.
Tried again and pushed it rather than pulling it and click. Door unlocked, door opened and wife happy. She can go to work tomorrow and, I don't have to pay someone to come way out here to do (essentially) the same thing for me.
