I am led to believe I am by no means the first new Boxster owner to have this experience ! :lol:
Before finally giving up and sending to garage !(or the scrapyard ! the way I feel at moment!)
Story so far
What happened ? Flooded in the downpour last week – Usual symptoms – Soaked carpets, water in the underseat areas. Came in through tear in the foam tray passenger side and the drain channels blocked.
Resolved the drain problems by clearing all channels and fixing the tray.
Have got the water from the under seats.
Tried both Keys.( before the flood my key fob did not open the 2 boots/trunks
Central locking/unlocking works from the button in the car but not from key.
Windows lower/rise on door handle use, and when convertible locked /unlocked and from buttons in car.
Sitting in Car
Key in – all dash lights come on as they should. Oil check completes ok. All buttons work in car, central locking , boot openers, radio powers up
BUT will not start the car – all the dashboard lights stay on but nothing when I turn the key full right to start !
UPdate – Tuesday
Re-installed the Black box from under the seat, after cleaning & washing in Isopropyl and drying in Rice.
Everything except the central locking was working on a test drive.
THEN .....like a complete Noddy I tried to get the central locking to work from the key fob as per postings on the forums. FAIL !
Now Everything is back to the same stalemate as Monday !
Making me insane ! Anyone got any ideas ?
HELP !
