986 passenger door won't lock

[Geedavey76]

Hello everyone, I am new but I love this forum! I have learned so much over the past few weeks. Although, you read enough about about problems paranoia kicked in when I picked up a 1997 Boxster yesterday hearing things that weren't there! Anyway, my issue is that hitting the lock button locks the gas cover but not the doors and i get a beep beep. When I open the passenger door the light comes on and the window goes down but nothing with the drivers door. I can lock the drivers door with the key but the passenger one doesn't lock. I read that turning the key in the drivers door 3x quickly to lock works, but it didn't. Is there a manual way to lock the passenger door?Also did the 97 have a keyless entry? All I have is what looks like a spare key with a small black top. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. I ordered the 101 Boxster book on Amazon today but playing the waiting game for that.
