Just sharing some information in regards to door lock actuator replacement

My 2000 Boxster developed the dreaded micro switch failure which caused me to be unable to lock the car and produced the dreaded double beep. I grabbed a known good door lock actuator from another 2000 Boxster, but it didn't quite work out. The lock I got was from a Canada/USA car, but my car is a ROW car so it had the "Secure" AKA "Safe" function which the Canada/USA lock didn't have. I was able to lock the car but it would beep on unlock letting me know something was wrong.

I ended up using the 8N1837016B from an Audi TT rather than trying to source the ROW part, and it worked perfectly.

I imagine it would also work perfectly for the Canada/USA cars but I can't say for sure.
