930 central locking only locking one door

[SEE YA]

Hello all, my 930 has started with a new fault now. A funny one on the key fob, it only locks the passenger door. The drivers door will not lock, and the door handle the when you insert the key the barrel just turns around.

Any ideas people?

[SEE YA]

Well no reply again where is everybody?

I had look inside, and found the fault it a plastic screw on ball fitting.
Over the years it has got worn and spilt at the side. This means the rod falls off and will not lock the door.

So its a cheap fix HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thanks for the update / find

I'm in same boat, tumbler's been spinning but still working for last year, until last week when just spins and no locking, and now tumbler pulled straight out

taking door card apart now, hoping to find similar remedy as you (cheap / easy!)

Keep me posted, someone said lever fits between field goal prongs make sure it fits in the middle.

On my one just one prong not sure how to make it work.

plastic rod on door locks. why cheap crap like that i dont know. i wired mine back on but have since ordered a new one, jsut waiting for it to fail again.

[krasuskyp]

defffffffffffffffffffffffffffinitely not the plastic rods in my case here

pulled the panel, here's what I found floating about the bottom inner door sill:



while these innards resemble those in my cheapo Haynes 911 workshop manual (couldn't find reference in the 930WS manual I have on DVD?)... there appears to be more pieces than what is pictured for a 70-73

ugh - nooooooooo idea how to reassemble this mess w/o pulling the OTHER panel and inspecting a known good assembled mechanism - FUN!

anyone BTDT with this? Gooooooooooood tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimes... there is sooooooooooo much room up and in there to see / get hands / work / etc.... NOT.

The screw has come undone, which holds it to the barrel it self.
It has a spring return on the key you may need your car keys to hold the key parts together.

I can post a picture for you should you wish?

[krasuskyp]

yes a picture would be quite helpful if you would - thanks much

yeah I'd say the screw came out alright... Loctite'ing that f'er 8-)

the key is needed to get the barrel in / out of the handle, I think that's about it

[WPOZZZ]

Paul, the piece below the tumbler is the spring return, but the piece at 3 o'clock looks like it broke off. I used rekey those at a friend's shop, but I haven't done one in a while so I'm a little foggy.

Take a look at this.

Hello, does the picture help or do you still need one from me?

[krasuskyp]

good evening - sorry, been running around all weekend

the picture is somewhat helpful as I can sort of determine the orientation of the pin - but it is really too small / bad angle

might you be able to snap a better pic?

appreciate your efforts...

Paul, pages 217-222 show the door lock parts in order.

PS: FU buttofcourse!!!

[krasuskyp]

thanks for both the link and the FU!

however

that pic of course does not separate the pieces involved with the back of the tumbler... just a vague picture of the assembled bits

oy

How about this, ya' bishazzbish?!

Door Handle Assembly

[krasuskyp]

thanks fukko - that is semi-more-helpful, but it is still for earlier handles it appears.

ours have a 2-piece locking pin assembly which I need to figure out, but least this gives me some sort of more general idea than I had

any further insight here is appreciated... TIA

oh, and... Fukkimus Youimus, Douchimus Maximus!!

Karl, Porsche doesn't sell the rod ends any more, instead they sell this (started with the 964 model but works on 930 models as well) plastic one piece rod. Part number straight out of the Porsche PET -

964-537-571-00-M100

Whopping $6.25 from Pelican.

Yes found that out myself as I need one had to buy the 964 all in one part as above.

Is the picture still needed?

[Chinook]

The part @ 3 oclock in Krasuskyp's #6 picture appears to be the center pivot plug from the window register arms. Very common for replacers to leave that piece in the bottom of the door when they replace the broken window register.
