    If both doors lock and unlock with the dash button then your mechanics are likely good. I do not recall a way to have a manual key turn unlock both doors. These early cars did not have programming options. Two possible solutions for the key fobs. 1. Open them up and replace what it likely a worn out button. Someone wrote this up for Boxster keys a while ago. 2. Buy one of the nice new Design key fobs and transfer your blade and transponder pill to the new key. No programming required.

    If you do not want to pay ~$455 for a new switch assembly try a salvage yard or eBay.

    Back on December 3, 2016 I gave you the code 8686 and you said that worked. If it does perhaps you should write it down somewhere?

    As Richard said you do not need to do anything the system will remember your PCM.

    CHF 202 is the factory fill and should be the only fluid used for power steering. In normal operation the fluid should be checked but unless there is a leak it is highly unlikely you will need to top it up. The cap (green I think) near the left front fender has small dipstick built in.

    I have posted this before... the resistance is the best way to check your coils. I always check them whenever I them off for spark plug changes as well as when I see P0300 codes. For the 996 series cars (and 997-1 series) Resistance between terminal 1 and terminal 15 at 20°C: 0.3 - 0.7 Ohms

    What happened to the different radio (and code) I gave you in March 2017?
  19. Loren
    Unfortunately if it is beyond the common faults like the handbrake microswitch or a physically damaged part then is will take more diagnosis. Sorry.

    You are just guessing without one of these tools - and that can get expensive fast when you buy parts you do not need. Most good Porsche independent shops have one of these tools.

    A Porsche PST2 or PIWIS have quite a few more options and tests they can perform on tops.
  22. Loren
    A PIWIS or perhaps even Durametric should be able to tell which switch is not working properly.

    Just to be clear the alarm issue and the top issue or two different issues. Does your handbrake light come and off when applied and released?
