1999 Porsche 911 996 Carrera 4 coupe
Hello Forum members
Hoping someone can help me out with this problem with remote keys. A few weeks ago, one of the keys stopped working - ie no reaction from door locks or immobiliser when pressing key button. Changing the battery in the key made no difference, although the red LED on the key was flashing. However after changing the battery in the second key, that worked OK - until last week, when it also stopped. No amount of fiddling with batteries will now get either key working again, although both have their LEDs flashing (oddly, one of them only flashes very slowly). The car was in for servicing yesterday, and the guy who does it was able to establish that the keys are transmitting OK (he has a little test box), but was unable to get them to operate the locks. Ideally, I don't want to go to the Porsche main dealer, as I sense a large bill for fixing this. Any ideas on how to get the keys working again would be very much appreciated - particularly as I'm looking to sell the car now.
Many thanks
Ed
