My 98 Base 986 has the M535 alarm flavor of immobilizer. Since buying the car in June the drivers door lock and the rear trunk light has not worked. The windows would also sometimes go down by themselves.

I have replaced the drivers door latch with one from eBay with no change to the lock. I have also put in a Viper paging alarm, mostly for the paging alarm function but also for key-less entry and trunk release.

The Viper remote control has always controlled the passenger door lock fine, the drivers door appears to lock then misleadingly unlock.

These were all livable problems until yesterday... I unlocked my car and pulled the rear trunk release and the trunk didn't open, at the same time the windows started dropping/raising repeatedly, the dome light and turn signal are on and wont turn off.

The car does start and drive.

So I drove it immediately home and unhooked the battery.

Obviously there is an issue with the immobilizer I've taken it out and it has a burnt smell. I'm waiting on a call back from ECU Doctors.

My big question involves my rear trunk, I assumed that it was cable driven when you pull the latch, but it doesn't open the trunk. Does anyone know how to open the rear trunk?
