Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Time to pull that door panel off right now and reconnect the rod.

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

So today both my keys stopped communicating with the alarm system. Both keys have new batteries and the car is on a tender. Both keys lights flash repeatedly and quickly when pressing the fob. I can see the red light on the dash flashing & the battery is fully charged. Any ideas?

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Gets even better. When I replaced my driver side lock mechanism a couple weeks ago I forgot to attach the key hole latch rod to the mechanism. I thought, no big deal I'll get to it next weekend, now that my mechanism is working again I can unlock the car with the fob. So now putting the key in the lock it just turns.....face palm! Had AAA come out and in 5 mins he slim jimmed the pass side door open. Alarm went off and I put the key in the ignition to kill the alarm. Now the fobs are working again. I hadn't driven the car since Sunday. I guess the system goes into a sleep/lockdown mode after a few days. I had no idea. Why would Porsche even do this? Time to pull that door panel off right now and reconnect the rod. Lesson learned.....

POST 3Original post

The car stops listening for the remote transmitter after 5 days in order to conserve power. When locked, it goes to sleep after 5 days and you have to use the manual key to enter the car. https://rennlist.com/forums/996-foru...96-thread.html
