Hi everyone,

I have a 2001 Porsche 911 C2, and i havent driven it for about 2 weeks, so i think the battery may be dead. I tried pushing unlock with my remote key and nothing happens, i decided to try and put hte key in the lock and turn it, but also nothing happens? Is this because hte battery is dead? How am i suppose to get into the car?

Thanks

 

hmmmm....very suspicious first post....so we are either going to help a noobie or tell a thief how to get in. I'm conflicted. I will tell you that the key fob goes to sleep after 5 days....

 

Yeah, after 5 days you have to use the actual key rather than the remote.

 

haha definitly not trying to steal a car, i actually dont think the battery is dead, because the alarm light still flashes on the dash. Also, if the remote has gone to sleep, why is it that i cannot put the key in the door and unlock it? Nothing happens when i turn the key.....??

 

Turn your key the other way?

 

I tried turning the key the other way, the door still does not unlock? I also tried removing the battery from the remote key and putting it back, the vehicle still does not unlock.... i have read that their is a emergency unlock for the hood inside the passenger wheel well, but is there any other way to open the car? Even if i open the hood, that will probably just set the alarm off...would it re-awake the alarm and allow me to unlock with the key? The car would lock and unlock fine about a week ago...any help would be much appreciated

Hmm i will try and use the emergency hood release, seems like a big pain to get to though, hopefully the remote will start working again....

Thanks for the link

 

I ended up opening hte emergency hood release, the alarm started going off, then i disconnected the battery and left it for a few minuites. After i reconnected it the alarm went off again, but the remote key started working. I will have to get the door lock checked out now! Thanks for everyones help
