When did I buy my first Porsche Boxster?
HiI’ve just bought my first Porsche, a 1997 2.5 Boxster Manual UK RHD spec. It has got a few problems that I suspect are linked but don’t know how to solve.
Why are the climate control buttons on my Porsche 997 worn out?
The typeface on the plastic climate control buttons in the 997 (and 996) are common casualties of wear and tear. The buttons fade, and become undecipherable, making the interior look prematurely aged and dated.
How does an alarm work on a Boxster?
If I use the key remote the alarm chirps once, the lights flash, and both doors plus the gas door lock, and the alarm indicator light on top of the dash flashes. Upon unlocking/disarming with the key remote, the alarm chirps twice and everything gets unlocked as it should.
Is there a problem with the central locking system on a Boxster?
Since then everything has worked normally. Perhaps a dealer with a Porsche diagnistic computer could pin the problem down to the precise part by acutating the locking system components one component at a time and look for what piece triggers a fault.

Why does my Boxster not lock the door?
Best guess – the passenger door lock unit is broken. I’m guessing this for two reasons. One, the passenger door doesn’t lock remotely, with the key or the console button and the driver side door does lock with the key. Does the driver side door lock with the console button?
