Finally had time to do all those tests. The door lock mechanism on the on the drivers side is bad. No continuity at all locking or unlocking. Now I know where to start.

Correction. When locking there is no continuity between s5 and a2 where there should be. Woody says $50 plus shipping. Looks like that's at least part of the solution. While I had my tools out and was in a work on the Boxster mood, I finally replaced the fuel door actuator. What a pain in the ass. I've been dreading doing it for a while. I looked on the package it came in. November of 2015.

Let's hope the replacement latch solves your issues!

Well, the new mechanism came from Woody this week, and I finally had the time to install it today. The CLU still doesn't unlock after the alarm has armed. About 29 seconds after it's locked. It does however, now roll the windows up and down with the key like it should. Have to keep digging.

what model no. Is your immobiliser as I have the exact symptoms. Had to reverse polarity on the keyfob to get it to unlock/lock but as soon as immobiliser kicks in nothing. Key only opens drivers door until I put key in and turn ignition on then I can use key to unlock rest of the system or remote
