To install lock wire on bolt heads, first thread the wire through a hole in one bolt head, then twist the wire around itself to secure it. Next, thread the wire through the hole in the adjacent bolt head and wrap it around that bolt head as well. Finally, twist the ends of the wire together tightly to prevent the bolts from loosening.

Some locks can be picked open when you don't have the key. You can use a wire hanger or a hair pin to pick a lock. If you cannot get the lock open, contact a locksmith for help.
Locksmiths have a tool that is basically a hooked piece of thin wire. I had a broken key in the lock that i had to remove so i used a very thin piece of wire and made a small 90 degree bend in it. The idea is to slide the wire (hooked end) along the key and get to the end of the key and get the bent end of the wire hooking the tip of the key. Then simply pull the broken end of the key out. In effect you are using a small,long fishhook to get the key out. Use a pair of pliars to bend the wire. Remember that the wire has to be thin and fairly strong. Coat hanger and bailing wire is much too thick. While breaking the lock, if the lock was damaged then you may have to replace the lock. The key may be jammed in too tightly.
I wanted to do the same with my 2005 f-150, but couldn't find any real answers from anybody at a garage or dealership. I got lucky with my f-150, only because the signal wire from the ECM to the driver's door lock was a separate wire from the rest of the bunch. So I took apart my drivers door, jammed a test light in each and every wire terminal on the harness at the window controls, and drove around. Unlock the doors at a stop, then put the trans in gear and start rolling. They should lock around 5 or 10 mph. When they lock, your test light will light up when you are on the right terminal, showing you the signal wire. When I did that, I just cut the wire. Problem solved. But your vehicle might be different. Try it out and see. Your signal wire might be the same as another wire, so cutting it might effect some other window function all together. GOOD LUCK.
