Can't get into truck with manual key. It won't turn. key pad entry is a no go because battery dead. Can't lift hood to charge battery because of non entry to cab. Any solutions short of breaking windows?

How about attaching a jumper via the "power outlet" in the bed of the truck? It could be enough to power the key pad so you can get inside... Go get a plug in and attach it to a battery or jumper cables? Sort of a reverse charge...
 






Why can't the manual key unlock? On passenger side too

Maybe cheaper to get locksmith or try to jimmy the lock versus a new window

Are your exterior/interior handles broken?
 






I had the same problem once after getting back from a cold day of skiing I left the lights on. WHATEVER YOU DO- don't break out the small sliver windows in the back- those things are expensive! Completely opposite of what you would think.
 






WD 40 spray in locks that should work..
