2001 boxster S 6speed

I managed to kill my oem DME and immobilizer. the car would start sometimes but would not drive. Got confirmation from a dealer the DME was bad.

I tracked down a used set (DME, immobilizer, ignition assembly) and swapped everything out this morning. The donor was a 2000 S manual.

The car starts and is operating again (Yay!) . But, before closing the hood I realized the front and rear hatch buttons arent doing anything. No solenoid action at all.

Anyone know the differences in MY 00 vs 01? I read it could be wire controlled vs computer controlled. Trying to trouble shoot since you kind of need access to these two areas.

Thanks!
