I'll post the pics as soon as the garage send it to me! - I should think it would be obvious tho if the cables are sheared you'll just need to check all along the loom for any exposed wire.

My car is at the dealer. He said it might be a door latch or the window regulator. $400-750. Damn.

I took the car to the dealer. Luckilly it was malfunctioning when I showed the tech. I left it and when he went to hook up the computer, the door worked fine!!!! However, once he got the door to malfunction again and he hooked up the computer, the computer did not recognize the door was open thereby not sending the signal to drop the window and causing the central alarm malfunction.

The door latch needs to be replaced at a cost of $660USD. Go figure, 2 months after the warranty expires too.

Cory - I get them directly from the electronic version of the Porsche PET Catalogue. I crop off the headings to make the images larger in the pic.

BTW - Don't ask me what PET stands for because I have forgotten!
