If you have more than one Fiero, or keys from a previous one, or a local Fiero buddy with keys, IIRC there were only 4 key configurations used. You could get lucky ...

Hey guys, I accidentally locked my only key in the trunk. The switch on the dash hasn't worked since I bought the car. What is my best option here? I'm seem to recall having some luck prying one of the vents off on my old 84, I just don't want to damage the deck too bad. |

And this reminds me of High School, when I took the red-hot daughter of the local newspaper's editor-in-chief down to the shore in South Jersey, promising six-ways-from-Sunday to bring her home by 9PM. When I locked the keys in the trunk at the beach, my short life passed before my eyes. (I think that might have been the end of our 'relationship.')[This message has been edited by Notorio (edited 06-05-2021).]

LOL. Dang! Never even looked at the date. What an idiot I am.

Being a South Jersey guy myself, have to ask what shore town & newspaper; Courier Post? Gloucester County Times? Have a lot of good memories of the shore & my Fieros. But, never did lock the keys in the trunk....thinking back, hmmm, almost as good as the old adage, we ran out of gas, guess we'll have to sleep on the dunes

It's funny ... I also didn't look at the date of this post. Unfortunately it seems that many threads asking for help are never closed out by their authors' sharing the resolution of the crisis. Sigh.
The paper? We were actually from Central Jersey (Scotch Plains-Fanwood area) and the paper was the Courier News. We were eventually rescued by a friendly biker with a tool kit. He took the back seat out and reached into the trunk for the keys  . Interestingly, this same car, a few years earlier, was driven into NYC by my brother where he and some friends went to a restaurant, not realizing when he parked the car along the curb that he left the keys in the ignition and the engine running. Hours later when they emerged from the restaurant, there was the car, still running, with a mob of on lookers gathered around it. I often wonder if that car is still on the road, continuing to live a charmed life. Many happy memories there.

Been living in C-J / Flemington NJ for 40+ years myself. I passed the Courier News building on Rt 22 everyday on my way home from work since '89. It was torn down a few years ago.
