986 Boxster key fob won't unlock trunk lid
Bend986 replied to Bend986's topic in 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)
Thanks for the advice Loren. It does seems strange that, after being programmed, the fob work correctly, just not the rear trunk lock button. It is definitely worth a trip to the dealer and have them evaluate the fob and its connection to the car. -
986 Boxster key fob won't unlock trunk lid
Bend986 posted a topic in 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)
Hello- I'm new to this website. Here is a question: I have a 1998 Boxster 2.5 Tiptronic. I just had a new key programmed at dealership ( the old key fob newer worked). With new key fob, all doors (including gas) lock and unlock appropriately. However, when pressing the button to open the rear trunk lid, the lid doesn't move and the rear lock actuator/solenoid is silent. I disconnected the actuator from the car (separating the plastic connector) and using a 9v battery, made the actuator ( and lock) open and close. So I believe the problem is not the actuator. I also connected a volt meter to the two wires that connect from the car to the actuator, then pressed the fob button, and no voltage was recorded. However, the red light on the fob and the red light on the dash near the windshield did light up So i believe the problem lies in the electrical system somewhere between the actuator and the fob. Any ideas on how to test the wiring running from the trunk lock actuator to the CLU? immobilizer? or wherever it goes? Or should I be spending my time evaluating the CLU? immobilizer? ?? Thanks for any advise! /Bend986
