Anyone had this locking problem?

Quick question for the group. What switch in the passenger door controls the alarm system?
When starting my car the alarm light is on, no flashing turn lights when locking. When unlocking I get 2 beeps.
If I start the car, open passenger door and slam it, the light goes off and everything is back to normal for one cycle. I start it again. When I do the lights on again and I have to repeat. Thanks

It's controlled by the door lock mechnism. Check what happens if you close / open it manually directly in the door lock.

You can also scan the car with a Porsche specific scan tool (Durametric, PST II, PIWIS) and get a read of the alarm fault location(s).

Thanks for the input. I remove my door handles when I wrapped my car so I'm guessing somethings loose connected to the door latch. 👍

I had a similar sensor issue in the passenger door.
This video around the 12:30 mark might help you trouble shoot the micro switches.
