SInce you problem is resolved, I have a new one.

Wife's 98 Boxster trunk handles are locked, when I turn on the alarm everything honks and blinks like it should but the levers do not unlock. The gas fill door opens and everything else works normally. I am thinking that the problem is with the lever assembly itself and the locking mechanism is stuck in the locked position. Does anyone know where the wires for the lock go and are they energized to unlock or lock?

Any help appreciated, my wife getting annoyed.

I have locked and unlocked with key and fob, reset windows, pulled fuses, locked and waited for alarm to set. No love...

I had a similar issue once and was solved by using the interior lock button on the dash, locked and unlocked a few times and then the trunk handles released.
