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.

I had a similar issue arise in super cold temperatures one morning as I set off for an early flight.

But given it was c +20degs C today and the fact it reset itself, seems more likely to be a microswitch or similar.

Tried all kinds of things suggested by the internet - trying to reset the latch with my fingers, cycling the locking with the key blade in the "secret" key slot, holding the door closed and locking it, using internal opener twice in a row to cycle.

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.

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

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My MY20 992.1S blotted its copy book this morning by not allowing me to close the drivers door. Tried all kinds of things suggested by the internet - trying to reset the latch with my fingers, cycling the locking with the key blade in the "secret" key slot, holding the door closed and locking it, using internal opener twice in a row to cycle. Nothing worked. I had to call Porsche Assist who sent out an AA patrol. 75mins later, chap arrived and I went to demonstrate to him the issue and guess what......it worked! I had a similar issue arise in super cold temperatures one morning as I set off for an early flight. I had assumed it was a heavy frost which had played with the windows. But given it was c +20degs C today and the fact it reset itself, seems more likely to be a microswitch or similar. It's booked in to OPC Cambridge the week after next but wondered if anyone had experienced similar since Porsche sounded baffled both on the phone to Assistance and when booking in with OPC. TIA!

POST 2Original post

Sounds like a sticky microswitch in the latch mechanism. Common issue on 991/992. It usually fixes itself (as you saw) but the switch will eventually fail. OPC will likely replace the whole latch. You did the right thing booking it in.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thank you - that's very helpful to know.

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