You can make it lock both doors using the dash button, but opening the driver's door promptly unlocks both.

Locking using the key does not operate the near side door and there doesn't appear to be a way to lock it manually.

I have been meaning to lock it using the key leaving the central locker open to see if this makes it chirp, but I am not sure that this will help the diagnosis; ad I'm nonly assuming that it will work because that is what happens in the 911.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Does anyone know how to manually engage the passenger side door lock? The car has fobs but both are currently inoperative. Locking using the key does not operate the near side door and there doesn't appear to be a way to lock it manually. I'm not used to being this clueless but the car (2000 S) is a stop gap whilst my 911 is off the road. On the 911 everything works so I haven't come across a manual locking problem like this before.

Thanks Dave: sadly that isnt it.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

So, it will only lock the driver's side using the key. A new battery makes the remote LED illuminate but nothing happens other than that. You can make it lock both doors using the dash button, but opening the driver's door promptly unlocks both. The fuel filled cap doesn't latch in any state, but this might be a separate issue. I have been meaning to lock it using the key leaving the central locker open to see if this makes it chirp, but I am not sure that this will help the diagnosis; ad I'm nonly assuming that it will work because that is what happens in the 911.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

400SE Dave said: Check the door handle outside is fully in, that would stop it locking This did help actually Dave, as the handle stuck up slightly and stopped the dash butting from working which really exasperated me. Then I noticed that the window was down slightly and corrected the handle, his made the dash locking button work again which hasn't fixed anything but it reassured me that it wasn't getting worse...

Did you ever manage to solve this? I have a very similar problem.
