I got it out of 101 Boxster projects
-
I replaced the passenger door lock assembly about 2 months ago and have not had a double beep since!
-
8N1-837-016-C
-
I ended up buying a replacement Porsche part and installed it over the weekend. So far it has worked perfectly. No double beep!
-
The Jetta lock for 2006 is the same part as a 2001? John

After lunch today I hooked up the durametric and was able to see faults again so I rant the test requested. Here are 3 images. Yesterday Today after clearing faults and pressing lock/unlock Again after another test of pressing lock/unlock Anything conclusive from this?
-
I received a response from Durametric. They asked me to generate logs while I checked the Alarm and sure enough it worked this time. I took a screen capture of the logs and then pressed clear logs. Once that operation was complete, I was back to my problem of no data. Here is a shot of the March 3 Alarm Codes Here is a shot of the March 9 Alarm Codes Note that 3 of them (circled in red) have incremented in the last 6 days. Code 47 has incremented by 2 Code 61 has incremented by 4 Code 33 has incremented by 1 I will check again today but the lock system has been behaving itself (although this morning I could not lock the car with the lock button on the key head :cursing: ) I am again at the point where I think that replacing the door lock is my next logical step. John

This is excellent, Thank you!Does Durametric order the fault codes by recent occurrence? Looking at the occurrence numbers Fault 47-51 times Fault 61-109 times All other codes are 1-4 times. The problem I have happens a LOT. Would replacing door lock mechanism be a logical next step? John
-
Well I thought I had solved my Durametric problems. I am back to a blank sheet (before resetting codes). For some reason, it will not read the codes. Back on the phone to Durametric.
-
I called Durametric and determined what the issue was. I now have codes! I did not clear anything as I wanted to get input. Here is the list. I know why code 54 is there but what do the other codes tell? John
-
I will check again and post results. I have confirmed that my Durametric is authentic and the correct version so it should show alarm faults. I assume that alarm faults will stay in the OBC until cleared. Thanks, John
-
I have a durametric and have checked the alarm fault codes. The software shows no codes.
-
I have that same observation. Winter it doesn't happen but now that spring is coming, the frequency is increasing. What part do you have? Door lock mechanism?
-
Passenger door is the problem. The central locking switch works. The problem is intermittent. I know it will occur when the red light on the rocker is lit and the double beep when unlocking. I have never gotten a fault code from the durametric. It always show clear.

Alarm Issues http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?/topic/48953-Alarm-Issues John

All, I have decided to replace the door lock mechanism and the window microswitch on my passenger door in order to try to eliminate my alarm system problems. I have a thread here and on 968forum and pretty much it seems that the problem is with the microswitches, probably the window one, but possibly the door lock ones. So, I looked on Pelican and they have the part number as 8N1-837-016-C-VAG. A quick search on that shows it is a shared part with Audi TT (and others) and possibly Volkswagons as well. Is that accurate? Thanks, John
-
Well I'm back with the same problem. We have had good weather here so the box is getting some miles. I left work and unlocked the Box. Two beeps. So I got in, dropped the top and drove home. The alarm light was on. At a light I put the window down and back up. No change at all. I opened the passenger door and closed it and the light went off. Just more data.
-
Update - I have not done anything to the car. I was out of town. Yesterday I had no problems at all. The light stayed off almost the whole time I drove the car. The only time the light went on was while the passenger window was dropping. It flashed on/off a few times as the window dropped from closed to fully open. Could a micro-switch do this without throwing a fault?
-
Thanks. Could that be a contributor to my issue? Yes, depending on whether the aftermarket radio is sending a signal on that wire. Either way it is best to disconnect that wire and tape it. Your are talking about this wire, correct? Brown/Blue - Common Audio Ground - Yellow Connector C " Pin 3 I need to remove that from the connector and tape it? Thanks, John
-
Thanks. Could that be a contributor to my issue?
-
Well the carpet is bone dry. Today the alarm light was off for my drive into work, about 20 minutes but was on for my whole drive at lunch. One note that I realize I have not shared. I have replaced the stereo and now get a single beep when I lock the car.
-
I have only had the car for a year (13 months). It has actually been doing the problem since I got it but it has gotten worse over the past 13 months. Given that, I cannot say if the Alarm control box got wet. I assume that I need to remove the seat to check, correct? Thanks, John
-
Today's update. It was suggested to test to see if the alternator is charging the battery. I tested this morning and with the car off, the battery read 12.7 - 12.9 and with the car idling it read 14.2-14.4. So the alternator and voltage regulator seems to be OK. I have not tried the troubleshooting steps from Pelican parts. John
-
That is part of my problem. I am attaching my Durametric Alarm report. No faults at all.
-
Thanks for your reply. The window is fully closed. I end up dropping the window manually to allow the passenger to get into the car when the top is up.
