Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

does anyone else's car do this? it does not do it all the time. but annoying especially when leaving for work early!! I checked the doors and frunk and rear cover and all shut is it linked to the alarm maybe to let you know ifs been locked?

To quote RobertB "Centre armrest cubby lid microswitch?" _________________"

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

no glove box as early 3.4 good shout on the centre arm rest as it does pop up at times. thanks

POST 5Original post

As mentioned, usual culprits are: * Centre cubby armrest * Glovebox * and, especially, the stereo. If you've got an aftermarket head unit fitted I'd lay money that it's this.

POST 8Original post

I was getting the double beep due to a failed switch in the door. My window also wasn't dropping and staying when pulling on the door handle so it was all connected to the same switch. Bought a good second hand one and an easy job.

POST 9Original post

The center consol cubby switch is just a micro switch .. you can unplug it if you want to disable it and bridge the wires .. its not even fitted to 997 as its kinda pointless but can often be the cause of a beep when unlocking the car . My slight confusion is it beeps when Unlocking the car .. beep when locking indicates something is open when it shouldn't be ... it wont beep for that fault when opening. Idealy you need a tester connected and look at the values for the locks.. boot .. bonnet etc etc .. wont take 5 mins to see which one is causeing the issue . My guess is a door lock or a door key barrel switch fault ( door lock basically as the switch is in it ) which is not giving a signal either way hence beep on lock and unlock.
