Lock button on exterior door handle
Hello eveyones

Looks like the part is fairly cheap but it will likely require full door disassembly for replacement. Technically the handle need to be painted, but you could just swap the electronic guts and use your original handle.
couple hours for a pro, day job for a rookie.

Thanks very much .. Am thinking if I disassemble door interior .. I will get rattles noise which is another headache , So either i take a chance and replace it or live without this button

If you put everything back exactly the way it came out you shouldn't have any rattles/ I'd check to see whether the interior door panel anchors are usually replaced once the panel is taken off. A body shop would be able to tell you. If the anchors are only designed to be compressed once during install and they don't hold tight after an R & R, you could get some unwanted noise.

When I decided to live with the faulty door lock button, I find out it is alive again
After car battery replacement , am not sure if that do A full reset to the system
Or battery current cause it to malfunction. -(Auto Start/Stop function alive again)
Case close.
It should be a service bulletin regarding this Issue

A bit of a late entry- but I was wondering if this issue has been resolved or has recurred? Same thing happened to my 991 this week. Driver's side button does not work- passenger does. Duplicated with 2nd set of key so it does not appear to be a problem with the key fob, and from your description, I wonder if this is software rather than hardware.

The wires to the handle break with time on the handle pivot point (not a great design), usually you can fix the wiring and add some strain relief, a replacement handle is fairly cheap but it will need to be painted.
There are other threads with more details.

V117 is right. Had this happen on my ‘13 C2S last year. Mine wasn’t the wiring and ended up being the handle. Like he said comes primered and ya have to paint
