here is and idea...go under the car ,find the starter and you will see a wire connected to it that comes directly from the battery + .now with jumper cable connect black or ground to car frame and carefully connect red or plus to the terminal on the starter where the battery wire goes too now connect a good battery to the other side of the jumper cables and you should be able to unlock the drivers door using the key or key button.
