Why is my central locking not working on my Porsche?

Why is my central locking not working on my Porsche?

Tried to open my car this evening but the central locking would only open the passenger door. Tried the emergency key but to no avail. Boot would open and could open the roof (cabriolet). Had to climb over from passenger seat to start the car. Started OK but “system error” showed.

How can I get my central locking door open?

Managed to get the door open. The manual says turn the key anticlockwise which did not work. Turning key clockwise did open the door but central locking not working on drivers door!!

Is there a problem with the Porsche ECU?

As yet the Porsche system has failed to isolate the problem but suspect it is in the ‘soft ‘ ECU ie the one that controls everything but those that might kill you. If it is any reassurance most of the issues have occured once or twice and then never again, which has made it very difficult to trace or solve.

When to disconnect the battery from a Porsche?

DO NOT disconnect the battery and get the car to your OPC as soon as possible. Mine has had similar issues for six months now the most serious of which was it’s sunroof and windows opening of their own accord on a very wet, rainy night.
