Greeting Porsche aficionados! I have a few technical/electrical questions that someone may be able to shed light on. I have a 99" Boxster with issues in the door locking mechanism and the driver seat. The Driver seat is power but will not move. Fuse checks out OK, when depressing the buttons I can hear a CLICK coming from the modules/control unit under the seat. The door locks activate when the interior button on the dash is depressed - You can LOCK and UNLOCK from there. However, using the key - it does nothing. I have never owned a Boxster, so I don't know if the locking system in the doors is electronic (hence you don't feel anything turning with the key) or mechanical? I would like to further test the control unit under the seat, but I cannot move the seat forward - its all the way back. Is there a way to manually move the Boxster seat forward?
