They can't get into my Ranger or my Taurus.


My Ranger has a few unique security mods too. While I was designing
one I found a simple and non-destructive way to unlatch the hood if
the release cable freezes, breaks or stretches. I'm not going to
publicize it but you may be able to figure out how by playing with the
latch while the hood is up.


If you can grab the housing of the cable and pull real hard you can
"usually" pop it open.

My ranger is old enough (at 1996) that it has no external
communications. The Taurus (at 2002) also has no communications.
The onlt way into either one is through the OBD2 connector - and the
96 isn't field programmable - not sure if the 2002 can be reflashed
either.
