Spare remote key not unlocking 996
MissakT replied to MissakT's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
If your primary key works fine, then the locking mechanism on the car is likely OK. That leaves you with two potential issues. The battery (which is fairly easy to change (in the key...not the car), or the key needs to be programmed/re-programmed to the car....Has to be done by the dealer. Given the two options, I would start with the inexpensive battery first(just a big watch battery). If this is a 2003, the battery in the key could be 8 years old..... Good luck, DC Thanks for the tip, much appreciated. -
Hi everyone, I'm sure this post comes around every few months but i'm a new owner (03 c4s) . The spare key blinks (the light works) but will not unlock/lock the car. Before opening it and changing the battery i figured i ask......any ideas or tips? I have heard it may not be the batter on the key it self if the light still is working but im not sure....hoping this wont be a pricey fix (but from the looks of this nothing in owning a porsche is cheap, not complaining though) Would appreciate the help. _Lifelong Porsche dreamer.....porsche owner for only a month (it was worth the wait) 2003 Lapis Blue Carrera 4 S
