In an attempt to check functions, my remote is no longer locking the doors on my car.

I was using a screwdriver to close the latch with the door open. The window dropped but does not go back up when I cycle the door handle. With doors open, the dash lights do not come on as they did before. Only the interior lights come on. Is there a way to reset this?

Thank you very much for all who posted in this thread! I was able to fix my window not staying dropped issue with a cheap VW latch. I mated the Porsche electronics housing with the VW mechanicals and soldered the new latch rotary switch to the old red and blue wires. $12 from eBay and the fob and alarm works correctly.

Great thread. One thing not mentioned relates to the black plastic piece the door handle threaded screw slides into. My URO mechanism I just got did not have this piece. Is it correct that I should just swap it from the original to the new one I have? Looks like it should just slide out.

thx
