Water under Drivers Seat ($3200 quote to fix)
Newc_rob replied to Newc_rob's topic in 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)
I did not check the fuse that is in the alarm module itself. The car is still at the dealership but I will check that when I go pick it up. Appreciate the advice and recommendations. Will update with how/when I get this fixed. I normally do take it to Taylor Chapman for its service (based on reviews in this forum) but he does not have the computer needed to reprogram the car. I also gave ASG a call and they said it was a straight forward job if I I had all the codes needed. I may see if the dealership is willing to provide me the codes but that may be wishful thinking. -
Water under Drivers Seat ($3200 quote to fix)

Thanks for the quick reply and thoughts on the repair quote. I did try to dry out the module following the recommendations I found in the forum but the alarm and locks no longer work. The car does start and drive. total price quested was actually $3600 not that it makes much of a difference. Appreciate you letting me know that I can reuse the existing keys. -
Taking care of my brother's car as he is out of country. Couple months back in a big snow storm it appears that cowl drains were blocked and the floor under the driver's seat was soaked. I removed the seat, took a shop vac to get the water out and then put a professional carpet dryer in there for 48 hours. Was able to dry out car (so I thought), however, door locks and alarm no longer work. I figured he would need to replace the security system after reading other posts. I took the car in yesterday to dealer and was quoted $3200. They said that carpet is still wet and worried about wires under the car. Was quoted: $2200 to remove carpet and inspect wires $1300 for new alarm module and two new keys $150 to clean cowl Local indy shops were my first choice but they said they would need the codes for immobilizer, keys, etc which are challenging to get. I am located in Northern Virginia. Any recommendations? Thanks
