Central locking oddity (not the normal issues)

[Rosselder83]

I've had my 911 turbo for about 2 years and the remote central locking has never worked, not once.

Was out for a wee Sunday hurl with my mate last weekend and afterwards we stopped in at Starbucks for a cup and a yap. When we came out I was holding my keys and I always just press the buttons out of habit. Well this time the frunk popped open.

As you can imagine I was pretty surprised, so I tried the door button and sure enough it unlocked. I locked and unlocked it a few times just to make sure it was actually me and it worked perfectly.

I read all the threads about it running out of uses etc so I had resided myself to being one of those owners who just used the key.

Came out to it tonight and on first press it didn't unlock, tried it a couple of times and on the 4th or 5th go it unlocked.

Did what I needed to do (changing interior bulbs to leds) and went to lock it with the fob and no luck. Tried a new battery but no. Had to resort to the key again.

Anyone have any ideas or similar experiences? Anything that I could investigate?

Intermittent fault so it could be a break in the electrical connection. Prise it apart, give it a clean and see if there are any dry joints with a soldering iron.
Could be an easy fix.

First time in 5 years had key issue, at event last night, press button, nothing 2 or 3 further prods and all good, time to leave press button, nothing 4 /5 prods open.
stopped on way home lock and open no issues. This morning no issues!!
WTF, do I investigate further or ignore?
