I have a 2000 Boxster. The windows work fine and drop the inch when opening the doors. The roof retracts and closes fine. The key remote is emitting a fed light as it should. The doors won't lock. The trunk won't open with the remote. The gas door I had to use the little pull ring to open...it was locked. The little lock toggle on the dash had a red light on it then it went out. I can't get it to come on and lock the car when the doors are closed and I'm inside. I suspect the Alarm Control Unit (ACU) but am not sure. Anyone have an idea of what might cause this ? I would hate to go to the dealer for the Durametric but fear I may have no choice as to figure out what is not working.
