Hi guys im hoping for some advice on a key problem i have. I brought my '98 996 less than a year ago. Two keys - neither of them worked the remote locking system. I took one into my local Porsche dealers and had a new key head. It worked for a month and then packed up. Took it back in and they did it under warranty. That worked sporadically so i took it back. They fitted a new one (again) and that one doesn't always work - usually when it's been parked up for 5 days or more. However, after unlocking the car manually and doing a few miles it usually comes back to life.
Now it's packed up completely! I really want to get it sorted and but its a trek back to the dealers who last replaced it in November.
Whenever i used it a little red light came on. I'm assuming that's a light to suggest it's activated? It doesn't come on now when pressed. Could the battery of gone in the unit? If so wouldn't they be expected to last more than 3 months?
