Item 4 I think his price is a little high as these are US MSRP $10.71 each

The alarm horn is next to the battery - the two horns that are connected to the steering wheel are behind the front bumper. So there are 3 horns. These horns die all the time so you may want to test them with a 12 volt source.

Try 4724 or 4722

I don't think it matters whether it is in gear or not. I think it is just stuck on the shaft. I would likely try to pry it a little with two wooden pry sticks - maybe just enough to loosen the stuck shaft.

It should come straight out if the transmission is horizontal.

1. Check the power supply for the signal converter:Disconnect the connector on the signal converter. Voltmeter at plug housing pin 4 (negative) and pin 5 (positive).Ignition key inserted. Display: Battery voltage.2. Check the control line for the signal converter (pin 6) to the alarm control unit plug I pin 4 for continuity, positive short and ground short.3. Check the status line for the signal converter (pin 7) to the alarm control unit plug I pin 12 for continuity, positive short and ground short.4.

The good folks at Sunset Imports (Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost) have made a special offer for RennTech.org Members. You can now purchase the full factory Boxster (986) Service Manual Set (15 volumes) for only $200. Considering what I paid for my manuals (years ago) this is a fantastic price. To place your order email porscheatcost@sunsetimports.com or call them at 1-800-346-0182. Thank you Sunset Imports!

You would need to replace all the linings - which can be done. But... the large main lining (item 6) in leather has a US MSRP of $1070.96 :eek:
-
Drive the car - if the lights came on after a battery change (smog check) then there will be no faults and they will reset in a few miles. If there is still a problem will not go out and you will need a code reader to see what the issue is.

There are many things it could be before your DME (Engine Computer). You should find a shop with some test equipment like the Durametric Software, a PST2, or PIWIS tester and have them look at your air flow (MAF reading). And, as I said check for damage on that one sensor - it is fairly common to have mice (or other rodents) eat away the insulation on wires during storage. We've seen and heard it it here many times.

Try 8806 or 8804

:welcome: P1571 (Porsche code 39) Immobilizer – Open Circuit / No Signal – Open circuit in wiring between DME control module and alarm system – Short circuit to ground or short circuit to B+ – Alarm system control module faulty Check to see if it is wet under the left hand seat. When water gets into the car the first place it runs to is the alarm/central locking/immobilizer box under that seat.

P1124 Oxygen Sensing Adaptation Area 1 (Cylinders 1 - 3) - Rich Threshold P1126 Oxygen Sensing Adaptation Area 1 (Cylinders 4 - 6) - Rich Threshold This means that your mixture is running too lean - that is, the DME can not make the mixture rich enough to compensate for additional air. Potential fault areas: - Intake air system leaking. - Fuel pressure too low. - Volume supply of fuel pump too low. - Fuel injectors fouled. A really bad MAF reading can cause this as well as intake leaks (cracked oil filler tube, AOS, etc., etc.) P0130 Oxygen Sensor Ahead of Catalytic Converter (Cylinders 1 - 3) - Intercore Short Circuit or Limited Voltage Increase - Oxygen sensor - Wiring harness - DME control module This sensor needs to be checked to see if it is cracked (ceramic) or if the wires are damaged.

Mine is now 9 years old - cleaned counted times and looks like new. $117 sounds like a good deal too - I paid $120 nine years ago.

Lost Radio Code - FAQ, PLEASE READ THIS FIRST

The 4th stalk sits below the turn signal stalk (similar to the cruise control on the right side of the steering wheel). The 4th stalk controls the display for the OBC (On Board Computer) which gives you outside air temp, mileage info, speed gong, etc.. See your Owners Manual for details of what OBC function are in your model year car. This OBC hack (mod) process is a common add on for many owners. Step one is to have someone turn the OBC function on in your car (using a PST2 or PIWIS tester).
