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.

8 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

How do I reset the security lock on a'99 Carrera. Windows, moon roof, AC not working. Someone recommended I try the 996 forum, no replies on 911 or general forums. Thank you, Rich

POST 2Original post

Check first that your battery if well and truly charged. Electrical things start going wrong on a 911 when the battery is low.

POST 3Original post

The may be too easy but if the car has been idle for a week or more, you have to reinitialize the system. Use the key to manually unlock the driver's door. Then lock it manually. Then press the button on the key fob. It should work.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

After unlock,loc, and push key button, it beeped twice, but things still don't work. What if I disconnect the battery. Will that reset it? Thanks, Rich

POST 5Original post

You can try to disconnect your battery for 5-10 minutes. If that doesn't work, you'll probably need a Durametric, PST2, or PIWIS to further troubleshoot. Still though, to me it sounds like you might have a few things going on. 1.) Your alarm system thinks some of the contacts are open when you try to arm it, which explains the horns sounding. 2.) "Windows, moon roof, AC not working" may or may not have anything to do with the alarm/immobilizer and could be due to low battery or perhaps a faulty ignition switch.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for the input all. Guess I will buy a manual and try to figure this out. I refuse to go to a dealership

POST 7Original post

Manual is online. I think its on rennlist. The little glove box in the center console, trunk, engine lid and doors have to be latched to stay away from getting the beeps.

This might sound odd but when the ign switch starts to fail strange electrical gremlins start to appear. The key is sometimes hard to turn/extract, accessories come on randomly or won't work...etc. 4A0905849B~ 30 minute install 1st time.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
