Porsche 996 my fob key does not lock the door.
What does not work is the remote lock and unlock.
Also the lock unlock button on the dash panel does not do anything.
Insert key into door barrel or ignition lock and turn key whilst doing this press the unlock lock button the led on the dash should flash to indicate this has initialised the key to the car then remove key and test operation of remote.
Use a screw driver to engage the locking mechanism fully in the second notch.
Using the remote control lock then unlock the door then press the door handle while the door is still open.
