Hello - my keyless entry has stopeed working with the vehicle of course locked and I can't find a manual lock. Is there one behind the trim piece on the drivers door?

Your vehicle come with one keyhole on the driver side,you dont see it ? it must been replaced with one of the keyhole cover
just pop out this cover.

Thanks -I figured it must be something like that but of course it was dark and raining and I didn't have anything to pop it off with.

just use the flathead scew driver and very carefully popping it out.

Although that's a cool mod to do there are times when it's a bad idea. Your's is one. Another is when you park near a relatively strong electro-magnetic field like in a big city with lots of underground power supplies. The keyless entry won't work and you'll need to use the actual key.

So I went and popped off the cover - it was glued on with a black rubberized compound and lo and behold there is NO key hole there - or on the passanger's side either - next?

Some of those kits have a replacement plug that replaces the actual lock cylinders. I think most people just install the cover and leave the lock in tact.
