First welcome to the Org
To get in the car with a dead battery.
On the outside door handle, when you pull on the handle, there is one section that wont move when you pull the handle. It stays at the door. This is where a normal car would have tumbler and a key to unlock the door. Your car has this same tumbler, but its under that cap that you are seeing on the door handle. You need to pop the cap off to access the tumbler, then use your key.
A far as the light mod, I am guessing the car has a failed micro-switch. If this is the case, the warning buzzer wont come on to tell you the lights are on after the key is pulled.
I thought the 2001's had the rear swivel trunk emblem? It pivots and there is a key slot underneath it, and a flip up pull handle. I know my 2000 did.
At some point they went to a normal stick on rear badge, and did away with the swivel type.
