Manual passenger door locks when battery is dead
Hello!
My battery died and even after getting a jump, it still won't start the car. The trouble is that in order to get at my jumper cables, I had to open my rear door. I've managed to manually lock the driver door with the key after removing the plastic cover, but how do I lock the rest of the doors? Since the battery is dead, the keyfob lock button and the lock button on the driver door both do not work. I've removed the valuables from the car and obviously the car isn't going anywhere, but I don't want hobos sleeping in my back seat. The lack of manual lock levers seems like a big oversight by Ford.
Thanks in advance!

I found the answer thanks to a reddit user. There's a manual lock cylinder on the inside of the door.
Right about here.
Stick your key in the top hole and give it about a 1/4 turn. Door is now manually locked when closed.
