I had the battery of the '87 300D (W124) disconnected while I pulled the intake manifold. When everything was back together, I reconnected the battery, only to hear the door lock mechanism do its thing. To my horror it locked all of the doors, by itself, and with the keys inside. (Since I am getting ready to sell the car, I have pulled my spare key out of the safe and both are now on the same keyring).

I have called AAA and they will show up some day -- in the meantime, is there anything I can do to get inside? I still have the hood up and so can access the electrical system. The car is safely inside the garage.
