I have a (US) '90 C2 Coupe with factory alarm and after 6 years of no issues, the alarm has decided to act up.

- With the doors, front boot, engine bay and glove box closed, I can lock both passenger and driver's door and the LED's come on and flash normally.

But...

- If I unlock either door, and open the door the alarm goes sounds; I put the key back in the door and turn to unlock and the alarm stops

- With alarm stopped and driver's door open I try to start the car and the alarm goes off, car will not start

Doors lock and unlock normally, and I can lock the doors from the center console switch and either door from inside the car using the door *****.

Using the advice I found here on Rennlist, I got my wife (smaller hands) to pull the Alarm module out from behind the passenger side front boot hinge. I have opened the unit and I now have to test it and or replace it.

Any ideas? My issue does not look exactly like any of the other ones I have seen here. Could it be the microswitch issue, but on both doors?

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Did you ever get this sorted out? I have the exact same issue with my 964 and can't get it resolved. Any insight would be really appreciated!

my aalarm works, but the red leds from the doors do not... Any ideas to get them fixed?

So I had the module checked and repaired, then replaced it in the car... same thing. Next I will purchase a new working module and try that. After that I may just send it out to have the door lock activators changed, or find the time to do it myself... I have less and less time to do these things... I just want to drive! At least my Boxster has been trouble free for the last 11 years (knock on wood)!
