Usually the car horn chirps when locking the car. I noticed this first and wonder why it wasn't chirping, I thought maybe a faulty horn but discovered a particular door wasn't locking.
Just curious with anyone with the door actuator issue, if you've noticed that the horn no longer beep/chirps?

I've just been procrastinating on replacing the actuator.

 

yup. I get no chirp

 

Hey all I've been searching for awhile is this the proper door lock actuator for drivers side door lock?

 

Yes that's for the driver door. Double check that its the right plug. There may have been 2 different versions and 8 pin and a 9 pin. Even though I got mine installed its not 100%. I have to click unlock, lock, unlock on the remote in order for me to open the driver door. I don't get a chirp. Not a battery issue as I got a brand new battery installed for that same thought. If you read above I have issues with my front left (driver 's) and rear right (rear passenger's) doors not locking or locking. And no chirp. I have already given up.

 

Ok ill check to see if its 9 pin it 10 pin. Its supposed to be 9 pin for our cars correct?

I wonder if the different branded actuator is causing you issues...if you get the original Porsche branded actuator maybe it will work correctly? Or maybe some reset procedure is needed?

 

I don't know. It was pulled out of a Porsche so not sure about it being a different brand.

Never thought of a reset procedure. I will check and see if there is an option and if it works. Thanks for the suggestion.

 

Something just occurred to me about the 9 pin versus the 10 pin or if was previously mentioned already, it may be depending on if the Panamera has the Entry&Drive system?

 

So my plug has 9 pin (room for 10 but one not used. The others were 8 pin. I have manual entry. Have to click remote and stick key in ignition. Not sure if that helps.

 

I'm experiencing the same exact thing.

 

Keep me posted too I have same issue.

dealership says they dont sell the door lock actuator itself???

 

Same thing hapened to me..
