I have a 97 993 Targa (98 build) and not realising I had used the fob with a dead battery, when I couldn't disable the alarm, I opened the door manually , thus setting off the alarm. I did manage after a few minutes to get the alarm to stop. Now when I alarm the car with the fob, I get double blinking lights on the door for about 10 seconds and then the slower blinks. I believe this is the normal state the alarm should be in.

When I disarm the alarm with the fob and put the key in the ignition to the on position, the immoboliser light is solid for about 5 seconds and then goes to a blinking light on the clock dial. Pressing the button on the fob does nothing except the lights on the door blink. The immoboliser light still flashes.

I have read in other posts that I might need to rest the immoboliser/fobs using the immoboliser 4 digit pin code, however I don't have this.

I called my porsche service centre who last serviced the car however they would not provide the code. They suggest i flat bed the car to them, which is a last resort for me as they are 150 k's away.
I have replaced the car battery which needed it anyway, and the battery in the fob.
Does the blinking immoboliser light on the clock dial mean I need to go through and reset the fobs using the reset procedure,or can it mean something else?
Is it true that the last 4 digits of the serial number of the immoboliser control unit is the pin, As I don't want the grind off the plugs to get to the controller if this is not the case.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Regards, Konsto


POST SCRIPT : What a fool I am, I realised after many hours of frustration that some weeks earlier I had removed the DME relay and forgot to put it back.Once it was put back, amazingly the flicking immoboliser light disappeared.
