2003 Boxster Passenger Door Stuck Closed
Joseph Ek replied to Joseph Ek's topic in 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)
In case anyone searches for this in the future, the Bentley manual wiring diagram is not correct for a 2003. I had to experiment with different combinations of ground/positive, eventually stumbled on one that worked and the door popped open. -
2003 Boxster Passenger Door Stuck Closed
Joseph Ek posted a topic in 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)
Hi All, I replaced the passenger door lock actuator with an aftermarket unit, it worked for a couple weeks and then stopped working and the central locking had error codes in Durametric. At present I cannot open the passenger door from inside or outside. I managed to remove the door panel with the door shut and using a spare door wiring harness hotwired the lock mechanism with a 12v supply, I can actuate the lock this way - can hear the motor run briefly and a some door lock type noises - but it's still stuck closed. I have a known good lock I used to figure out the wires that connect to the lock motor. Leaning on the door while pulling the handle, pounding on it inside and out, disconnecting the outside handle - none of this worked. I'm at the point where the only solution I can come up with to try next is to cut out the lock mechanism out by going in with a Dremel or similar tool. Any thoughts before I start that process? And if I do that, what do I need to cut? I have a spare lock mechanism (the old original broken one) and I've stared at it, not entirely clear what would have to be cut/destroyed to get it to open. Thanks for any input!
