Door Microswitches
SVATS replied to Richard Hamilton's topic in DIY Articles - Carrera (996) - Common Fixes and Repairs
Mine turned out to be looseness in the cables that lift/lower the window from the regulator. The micro switches are all activating, and you can here the regulator activating, however it is not moving the cables enough to lift/lower the window. It seems that it is just moving enough to pick up the "slack" in the cables. Looks like a whole new regulator/cable assembly is in my near future. I believe these come as an assembly. Does anyone have a suggested place to purchase that's more reasonable than the dealer? Thanks for everyone's input. -

Cleared the alarm codes, and now the double honk is gone. All seems to be well from the alarm side. Thanks for the suggestion about the regulator, I'll check that tonight. -

I am having a similar issue but seems slightly different than others. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. 2003 996 Turbo X50 -Passenger window drops when both the inside and outside handle micro switches are activated, however the window is not dropping the full 10mm (causing a slight interference with the pillar). -No honk when locking the car -Double honk when unlocking -Drivers side operates correctly (drops the full 10mm) -I've pulled the passenger side inner/outer handle microswitches out and they have no apparent issues. -I have Durametric, so if anyone has troubleshooting advice with this tool it would be appreciated.
