Hi,
I live in rural New Zealand with my 2000 Boxster S and the passenger door will not open from inside or out, also the window does not drop when I pull the door handle. I can hear clicking but nothing happens, I tried locking and unlocking via key in drivers door as central locking on key has never worked, but no luck. I tried using the central lock on dash, light stays red when ignition is on, but cannot open door, dash switch stays red and beeps twice. I have the "101 projects for your Porsche Boxster" so could probably change the door lock mechanism if I absolutely had to, can't afford to go to dealer/stealer!
Any suggestions and also would I need to change other switches to fix window or would a new door mechanism fix that too?
