I was sitting in the truck with the ignition off and the doors locked.I went to get out and the alarm sounded.I put the keys in the ignition and turned until the alarm went off but did not start the truck.I got out and locked the doors. Now my keys won't unlock the door to get back in. Key just turns freely when put in. Did something happen and the security system locked me out? How do I unlock the door. No keyless remote

The security system can't prevent your key from working. To me, it sounds like the linkage for the lock has come apart or is damaged. Remove the door panel and check the linkage to the lock.

Ok thank you. Can't remove door panel unless I can get the door opened. Guess I will have to call a locksmith
