Wayne, Great site, great book, great parts supplier!
I have a 1999 Boxster. The doors will NOT unlock with the remote. The windows lower when opening and closing doors. I replaced the drivers side DLM, a few days ago because the window was NOT lowering. I thought it may fix the door unlocking issue, but it has not. I hooked up the Durametric and get codes 46 and 47, both say Central Lock Synchronization. I can't find any OBD codes that relate to alarm/keyless entry. The only codes I can see to find anywhere are the Engine codes. When I attempt to unlock the doors via remote, I get two beeps, and the doors lock. I hear all the servos running, it sounds like doors are unlocking then locking again. Can you please help with knowledge or codes or where to start looking? Thanks in advance! __________________ This post was auto-generated based upon a question asked on our tech article page here: Pelican Technical Article: Boxster Door Lock Mechanism / Boxster Door Handle - 986 / 987 |

We had almost the same problem the other day with our test platform 996. The car would not lock, and the lights would stay on when the door was closed. What I did was I took the Porsche PST-2 and plugged it in and went through the alarm diagnostics section. This allowed me to arm the car and then open the doors and test all of the switches to make sure that they were operating properly. I'm not sure if the Durametric tool has this functionality (nothing beats the factory PST-2!). It turned out that one of the wires to the door switches was pinched by a screw that held on the door panel. I just simply removed the screw, patched the wire, and all was good after that.
