We had a really bad thunderstorm last week and somehow water got into my '02 Boxster 2.7L and soaked the CLU. I checked the drains in the top well and they are clear. I can only guess that the rain was too much for the drains and they overflowed.
Anyway, I'm looking at my options to get the car going again and it looks like my best bet may be to replace the central locking unit (under the driver's seat), the ECU and the pill for the key with a matching used set.
If you are parting a car and have the set, let me know.
