Just seems odd for both sides to suffer the same type of failure. Not to be an a$$, but turning the key the correct direction?

If still no go, good luck! Hopefully the battery will TCO.

 

You went dark on us.
New battery?
44 Mag?

 

Earth calling, come in Serval.
Did you change the car battery and all is well in immobilizerland?

 

I fear he may be locked in the car now.

 

ROFL!!!

 

That's hilarious!

CHRISTINE!

 

LMAO ... very funny. I feel like I've just finished a murder mystery novel with no conclusion.

I have heard some say "Thanks, coffee over the monitor" before.
Close, coffee over the desk now! Still giggling....

 

I think he just realized he could get in the car through the passenger door.

 

Passenger door was one of the earlier suggestions, but the key would not actuate that lock either; that's why we suspect the car battery, or ground cable.

This is a good puzzle, hope to hear back from him soon.

 

Sorry gentlemen,

Sheesh, this is worse than a soap opera I was travelling over the last week and just got back, but picked up a new battery (Optima) on my way home from the airport. And........


No luck. Same condition as before. Both doors remain locked with handles freely moving (i.e. not engaging). Next step - professional locksmith help, and I'll keep you posted. The worst is that it is sunny and I'm Porscheless...will use the Ducati to tie me over.

Anyway, once I'm in, (if ever), I promise to take get to the bottom of this and will document the solution with pictures. Hopefully this will put to rest all questions about 993 lock-out situations.

I hope this is not similar to those Safes with a glass panel in the door that once cracked it locks the safe forever LOL

 

My car had the disengaged handle trigger once and it was fixed when the battery was changed and we lubed the triggers.
