996 Key doesnt work

[fidgits]

The car doesnt unlock with the key in the slot - or lock for that matter?

Is there some switch or something that has an effect on this - I ask because i know after 5 days the transmitter switches off - and if i cant unlock by the key, well im stuffed!

[wildoliver]

sounds like it may have had a new lock/ignition barrel to me.

[fidgits]

the key turns 90 degrees in each direction - just nothing happens when it does?

[c2look]

Have you checked the fuse for the central locking?

[sportsandclassic]

someone has not connected up the rod from the barrel to the lock which will probably have been replaced at some point....

What about if you operate the passenger door?

[fidgits]

is there a key slot in the passenger door? I'll have to have a look.

And regarding the fuse - the key works normally (as a remote) but which fuse do i need to check?

It may indicate on the underside of the fuse box lid which fuses are for what or could be a diagram of it it the owners manual that came with ya new P & J.

IIRC that PDF has the layouot of the fuse board in it.

[fidgits]

thanks - although no mention of central locking fuse...

i might give steve carr a call tomorrow, see if he can have a look?*

I doubt something like this is covered under warranty!

There is no passanger key slot in a 996 or boxster.

Your link rod from the barrel to the door lock will not be connected. have seen this before no fuse will help you as its a mechanical override incase of a flat battery or when the alarm system shuts down the remote operation after so many days think its 5.

So are you saying when the reciever shuts down after 5 days the lock is active?

If the lock is inactive now it will still be inactive when the alarm shuts the remote off.
