Read evidence and context

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 report identifying a cause: 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.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Picked up car from mot on Saturday (passed as usual) to find remote not operating central locking. I'd noticed the signal was getting weak so assumed battery had finally failed. Got home inserted new battery - not operating. Light flashing when button pressed just not communicating with the car. Tried wife's key (memory seats so each key personalised) and all working fine. So this tells me problem is with my key. Tried: Key in ignition switched on pressed button. No change Key in ignition switched on and off pressed button . No change Key in ignition switch on and off pressed button. No change. Reversed polarity, repeated above. No change So at this point Have given up. Any ideas before hassle of visit to local Indy? Could of course complain to MOT garage but doubt it will get me anywhere, and like I say the signal was getting weak so needed to be nearer car than normal to operate before I took it in

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Just to follow up my earlier post, Paragon have diagnosed defunct key fob, replaced and back to normal. Apparently quiet common now in 996 and earlier 997, plus boxsters, probably component failure within electronics.

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