    I replaced the actuator on the fuel flap. It seems to work some of the time, but it's unreliable (particularly unreliable when unlocking). The guide bushing is missing and I'm waiting for that part, but I presume that wouldn't mess this much with the performance. I don't have any fault codes appearing - any ideas?

    Cleared the codes. First to reappear is the 58 about the tank servo motor. I assume this is talking about the fuel flap? I checked and discovered that the fuel flap does not lock when the car is locked. I assume this is not normal? I'll investigate further.

    Hi, I've made a bit of progress on this issue! I was noticing my key being sticky in the ignition, so I replaced the ignition switch. Now, the passenger door does lock when I turn the key in the driver's door. Unfortunately, now only the driver's door unlocks when I turn the key in the door. I need to get in, close the door and use the button on the dash to unlock the passenger door/storage. Also, if I don't put the key in the ignition and turn it within ~10s, I get a honk and then the alarm goes off. I got a Durametric and got the attached fault codes. I suppose the relevant ones are 59, 46, 69, 61, and potentially some others. Locking system seems generally unhappy, although not sure which codes are most relevant.

    Hi Loren, Sorry for the delay in replying. I got a scanner and it's reporting that there are no fault codes. I presume it is Porsche compatible as I'm able to read all the other information it can show. If that's right, then the honk must mean that there is a zone open, as you said. I guess it is most likely detecting that the passenger door is open, and that's why it isn't locking. Maybe that logic is flawed. I'm not sure why I'd be able to lock it using the button on the dash, just not my key. I read that it's common for the central console to be open and causing this issue, but I've made sure to lock that.

    Hello, I recently purchased a 1999 Boxster. The key which came with the car has never worked remotely (I have tried changing the battery). When I turn it in the driver's side door, it locks the driver's door with a single honk, but does not lock the passenger door. I thought the locking issue might be an issue with the passenger door locking mechanism, but the internal door lock button does lock both doors. I've read that the honk means the car thinks that something isn't closed, but I'm not sure if this explains the passenger door not locking. One thing to mention is that the indicator light on the lock button inside the car continuously stays on once I've turned the key in the door, but I'm not sure if this is normal behaviour. Please, if anyone has heard of this issue, I would be greatly appreciative. Right now my car isn't too safe! Thanks
