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.

Discussions that performed work without a confirmed outcome: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

To be honest, I have never seen anyone who has been successful in getting a remote repaired, apart from when a new microswitch was needed which doesn't seem to be your problem.

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

My spare key for my 996 doesn't work. The light comes on when I press the button but it doesn't open the doors. I have tried a couple of batteries so its not that. I also need a new housing for it. Does anyone know where I can send it to for repair? Thanks

POST 2Original post

Does the led on the key rapid-flash when you press the button? if it flashes slowly, or comes on but doesn't flash, then the remote is toast. To be honest, I have never seen anyone who has been successful in getting a remote repaired, apart from when a new microswitch was needed which doesn't seem to be your problem. You can buy the rubber button part of the key housing from Porsche (about £20).

POST 3Original post

Not sure if helps but know that Ramus Porsche recoded key for a colleague on his Cayenne after local OPC could not after 2 attempts. They are in West Bromwich so may be worth a call to see if they can help.
