The battery is dead, and the electric doors won't open with the key, the battery is located in the back seat, and the hood can only be opened from the inside of the car. How can I get the door to open, and are they not opening because the battery is dead?

Go to either front door, preferably the right door. Insert the key in the lock, pull up on the handle, turn the key and the door should be able to be unlocked. If the power is restored that door will be out of sync, open the hood to access the power point underhood and b4 you hook it up, close that door and lock it.
