Door lever problem on 996

[Bob C]

Hi,

My drivers door lock and central locking work fine unless I lift the drivers door external lever while the door is locked. When I do this the door will not open when unlocked.

Any thoughts on this problem would be very welcome.

Many thanks

does the window drop a 1/2 inch when you lift the handle? If not then most likely the microswitch in that handle has gone out.

Hi Rick,
Thanks for the response. The window does drop half inch as you say.

Any update on this? My door opens and closes fine from the inside. When the passenger door is unlocked, I can pull the outside handle and the window will drop down, but the door latch will not release. It was giving me a hard time the last few months, but it just completely stopped opening from the outside all together the other day.

Any ideas? Is it the outer door handle pull lever trigger?

Thank you!

Till it is fixed you could hold the key in the unlock position which lowers the windows then use the inner door lever to get in. Good luck trouble shooting it.

Go over to Rennlist.com and search ( if you are a member) or post this q there. There have been a couple who have had similar problems and posted the fix. There is a rod\pin\screw\cable that needs to be adjusted\tightened.

I just give my door a quick bump right over the keyhole and it works every time... although as the above fix is the right way to go, this should work until you get to it.
