I have a 1999 Boxster. When I turn the key from position 0 to 1 the radio comes on then when I turn it from 1 to 2 the radio goes off. I ordered a 4A0905849 for the ignition. When I tried to install it I found out I needed a 4B0905849 so I sent the part back and got the correct part and found out it did the same as before. The radio works find except when the car is running. Has anyone got and clue what is going on?

Help no radio when car is running
BillStL replied to burrito1's topic in 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)
Did you ever get it figured out? I had the same problem but when it started for me, Winter was coming on when I would start the car the radio would not come on for about 10 min, then when I was almost home the radio would come on. Now it just come on in the ACC position. -
Key fob issue again
BillStL replied to aaronliu's topic in 9PA, 9PA1 (Cayenne, Cayenne S, Cayenne Turbo, Cayenne Turbo S)
I guess I should ask this in the Boxster forum but since this is where I came to when I put Remote in the search. I had a key that I thought was going bad and and it looked pretty ratty so I decided to just get a new one. My second key had the trunk button broken. When I got the new key I asked if I could have the old parts. They gave them to me. In the bag there was the circuit board, a spring a plug and the "pill" I just put the old board in the second key fob. The lights flashed but nothing happened. Do I need to change the circuit board and the pill to make it work? -
Key fob issue again
BillStL replied to aaronliu's topic in 9PA, 9PA1 (Cayenne, Cayenne S, Cayenne Turbo, Cayenne Turbo S)
It's a one-button key for a 1999 996. I just stuck my thumbnail in the crack and gently pried it open. The board is just held in with two clips. Just be careful not to lose the rubber ring. Sorry for the blurry picture. The camera on the iPhone is about the most worthless thing ever, and my real cameras are in the car. For the key in the picture it isn't getting the key apart it is getting it back together. I read somewhere you have to put the remote in the top half of the fob (the part that has the buttons) and then put the two halfs back together. You would think you just put it in the bottom half, I tried that and the key didn't seal. -
Thanks everyone for the suggestions. The tear WAS from the push rod so I will look closer at the 'foot print' of the frame base as well as perform a drip test. There was a substantial amount of water so I am hoping it is just the process of the foam drying out. Will report back after the weekend! So after some difficulty locating the correct socket to remove the seat bolts I started the task of drying out the foam undrlay on the carpets. I was amazed at the amount of water the foam can absorb!!! I did not have a heater / fan powerful enough to dry the foam - it would have taken weeks at the rate it was going. I am now looking at removing the carpet completely and letting it hang to dry outside of the car. The rip in the tray on my car is at the front end of the tray. It is under the frame assembly. If I take the cover off on the inside of the car the rip is right above the seat belt rewinder. I tried putting a tape under it but I didn't really think that would work. So for anyone that was able to patch it how did you get to the rip with out taking the roof off. Anyone seen a link on how to take the roof off if I do decide to try to completely replace the tray. Thanks Bill

I have a 99 boxster and from my Durametric software I get fault 48 Belt buckle passenger. I have read you need to get a new seat belt latch and resoilder the ground. Does anyone have a picture of a broken latch and where the ground is that needs to be resoldering.

I have a 99 Boxster I ran the Durametric scan on my car. I clicked on the alarm tab and found four faults. My key and remote seam to work alright. Anyone have any idea what code 23 W lead is? I have code 42 Wrong Key or Transponder, I shouldn't be able to even start the car if I have the wrong Key or Transponder. My 33 code says Interior sensor faulty. and Code 60 Centeral Locking limit position. I didn't see any sort of summary page on the Durametric web page. Anyone seen a list? Thanks for any info Bill

'00 Boxster: No radio power / accessory power
BillStL replied to Bry's topic in 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)
And now the plott thickens! I have a 1999 Boxster with a Becker CDR 220 stereo. When I put the key in and turn the key to (1) Ignition on the radio comes on. Then when the key is turned to (2) Start the radio goes off. When the car has been parked in the garage over nigtht it doesn't happen but when I leave work in the afternoon (I live in St Louis it has been cold) it does this. After the car has been driven for about 10 min. the radio will just come on. It is like the car has to warm up for the radio to come on. Sometimes if I let out on the clutch with out giveing enough gas it will just shut off sometimes it comes right back on and sometimes I have to wait. So I don't think it is a problem with the fuses. OH by the way try pushing the EJECT button for the CD. Then once the door pops open and you close it make sure it latches on both sides I had a problem with that shutting the radio off when I first got my Boxster.
