yesterday i was at a club and locked my keys in my car. so i got a buddy to try and slim jim my door to get it to unlock. we tryed for a couple of hours but couldnt seem to open till one of my friends used a coat hanger to pull the lach up from the window. we got inside the car but now my key wont lock or unlock my doors and im woundering if the car thinks its stollen so it wont let the key unlock the car anymore or if using the slim jim i knocked a lach off down in my door to where the key cant be used to anymore. im just woundering if this is a computer problem or a internal problem

When you guys tried to slim jim the door, the lock/unlock rod came off the lock. You need to remove the door panel to reconnect the rod to the lock.
