Changed remote battery, now it won't work!
Brewrby replied to Brewrby's topic in 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)
Tried to seat the battery better, and even bent the clips a bit to make a better contact with the battery. No luck. Light on the remote seems to work fine. Locks won't open, and either will the trunks. Guess it's back to the dealer to reprogram. -
Changed remote battery, now it won't work!
Brewrby posted a topic in 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)
I thought the remote battery for my '02 Boxster was getting low because of the operable range, so I picked up another one and replaced it. It worked for a few days fine, but then no light on the thing and it wouldn't work at all. So I reversed polarity from some advice on this site. Now it looks like its working because it lights up when I press it, but the car does nothing. From searching the site, I tried putting the key in, holding down the lock button and turning it on, but that did nothing either. Any thoughts on methods that might get the thing working again? I called my dealer and they automatically told me that it have to be reprogrammed for an hour's service charge at 100 bucks! Gimme a break! From changing a battery? Are these cars built to support the service depts? -
Sounds like an ignition switch problem. https://www.autohausaz.com/search/product.a...mber=4A0905849B

I have an '02 Boxster with about 40k on it. When I put my ear up to the side intake vents, there is a passenger side ticking noise from the engine that sounds like the valves. When I put my ear up to the driver's side, I don't hear anything. Is this something to be concerned about?

window won't drop 1/2 inches
Brewrby replied to f_laurens's topic in 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)
I just bought my Boxster a month ago or so. I seem to be having a similiar problem. When I lift up on the door handle, the window moves very slightly, but not enough to drop it the 1/2 inch like the passenger door. Plus, when I put the window down all the way, I hear clunking noises about halfway down. Other than that, it works fine. Could it be just the cable stretching and not the microswitches/regulator? Would just an adjustment be necessary?
