Someone somewhere must have had to deal with this before..The Q sat for a couple weeks without any use.. Now the battery is totally dead and doors will not open. I do not believe I can access the hood release cable, already had a peek behind the front left wheel housing..and no sign of it..I tried all the keys I have in the drivers door manual key cylinder, keys go in fine but do not turn at all...any ideas would be greatly appreciated...

the electronic part in the drivers door is a switch that tells the other doors to unlock, but it should not keep you from opening the drivers door. You have to try a little harder in turning the key. Also same way on your rear hatch.

Did you ask the same question on Kijiji? If the barrel doesn't want to turn, most likely someone in the past tried breaking in your truck by forcing the keyhole with a screwdriver. You will need a tow truck driver to open the door because there is no other way to get in.

Thanks for the advice..I just needed to try a little harder turning the key...Just being a little too careful.....Thanks..Problem solved...

where is the keyhole for the cargo area / hatch / trunk?

There is none, only the driver door. Mine also won't turn but clearly someone took a screwdriver to the keyhole and tried to force it open.

If its like the VW .. a part turn is basically Electrical swith telling the car to unlock, but 2x the distance of turn is actually mechanically unlocking the door.
