Don’t know if anyone has any ideas about this but I’m tearing my hair out.

My 99 996 Cab has been left standing for 5 days without me driving or getting into the car. The car has switched off the remote central locking to save power.

To re-enable remote central locking my drivers manual states that I should use the drivers door lock to open the car and re-enable remote locking.

This is my problem my car doesn’t have any door locks!!!!!! I’m guessing at some point it’s had a door replaced without a door lock.

This leaves me no option as far as I can tell but to smash a window to get back into the car.

Unless anyone has any better ideas?

Thanks

I had to get into my boss' 996 with a dead battery once. fortunately the doors would open. there's a clamp point on the interior fuse panel to attach a jumper cable and the negative goes to the car body on the door latch so you can pop the hood to gain access to the battery. in your case, you need to find some way to get +12 into the electrical system from the outside. I haven't rolled around under a 996, but the trick that comes to mind would be to see if you can get to the starter motor from underneath. I'm fishing here... but if you can find the fat +12 wire that runs to the battery, you could attach a jumper cable there, and possibly apply enough charge to be able to use your key fob to get the door open. just a thought....

Thanks for that.

I had a thought the guy who owned the car before me might have just replaced the exteror door handle covers to cover up the lock.

Does anyone know how to remove the exterior door handles?

Thanks
