knocking sound when car is stationary and FOB is not working!
Guys and girls,
I would be grateful for any words of wisdoms - i have scoured the internet for an answer or even some rationale explanation into why my car is not working. I own a GS450h 2006 model - I cannot open the car as the FOB key is not working also the car is making a knocking sound from the front grill, which is strange as the car is powered down. I have replaced the battery on the FOB key and I have tried both keys. Furthermore, I have not tried to open the car manually as it is late here in the UK and I will do it in the morning - as I do not know how to switch the alarm off.
I would be sincerely grateful for any thoughts or advice.

Hello thanks for your reply. Yes, I got into the car but there are no signs of life - completely dead, wont start up, no signs of any electrics. The knocking sound has gone. I did get into the car manually and was expecting the alarm to go off but it never. Maybe the battery is dead.

That really is a monumentally drained battery issue, by tge sounds of it.
How long had the car sat since last driven?
If it was only a day or two, then I'd be preparing myself for a new altenator, and you may as well change the battery even if the car started as quickly as normal.
