These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hello all. Since coming out of winter storage, my 2000 S alarm won't arm properly. I get the honk, and dome light comes on a second or so after locking. The dash led flashes twice quickly every few seconds. All signs of not arming. In PIWIS with the car locked, everything is showing closed/locked/safe locked. There are no alarm faults stored after locking and checking. There was no country code, just dashes, so I put US (I'm in Canada), no effect. I'm at a loss now, since nothing abnormal is being reported. Anyone have any ideas? Pics of the states attached. Thanks.

POST 2Original post

Had a similar experience with my Cayman. https://986forum.com/forums/porsche-cayman-discussions/86550-window-drop-saga.html Have you tested opening your doors after you 'lock' it? Sounds like one of the doors isn't locking for some reason.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yeah, all locked. I did try the handles as well. Whats frustrating is that as far as I can see, everything is showing locked and secured. No faults, no event codes. The activation code shows "secured via radio" which means it was done via the fob. But it doesn't show any reason why it kicks off. I tested the interior sensor and it works. Just doesn't make sense so far.

POST 4Original post

I'm having the same issue with my car. No codes and everything is locked. I have noticed that if I don't slam the drivers door hard I will get the 2 beeps. If the top is down, the door locks fine with no beeps, It appears that the air pressure in the car when closing the door somehow affects the door locking mechanism. I've decided to replace the drivers door latch mechanism and will be getting to do that soon.
