Hi everyone. Ive recently bought a lovely 993 targa and have had a few weeks of fun with it. Its my first 911, my first porka in fact, and it has kept a smile on my face since the day i picked it up.
Today though, I have a problem; my passenger side window is stuck halfway down.
It started a week or so back; I parked with the windows and roof down, locked the car with the PA1000 key fob, the hood and drivers window closed but the passenger window stayed open.
A few days later, the drivers window and hood were open, locked the car, roof closed, drivers window closed all but the last inch. When i turned the ingition on and tried to use the switch to close it, it didnt weant to know for a while, then closed. This has happened a couple of times.
Yesterday it failed completely; car had been sat all day in the sun all locked up. I opened up, started up, lowered roof and windows, drove about a bit, and when i tried to close the windows using the switches they both stayed open. I got out and locked the car with the fob but only the drivers window and roof closed. Passenger window stayed open an inch. Now NONE of the window or the roof work, up or down.
I have checked the fuses and one of the 30amp ones was burned out; think it was #4 the power window one so swapped with replacement. I then went to start the car but started motor turned and engine didnt fire (gulp!). Left it for 2 mins and it then started (whew!) but window and roof still not working.
My problem is that if i lock the car the alarm sounds after 30 seconds cos the window is open. I cant leave the car unlocked, theres a massive chance of rain, so is there any way at all to lock the car and disable the alarm?
A guy on pistonheads said that you can bypass the remote closure thats behind the panel in the footwell. I checked but theres only the speaker and control unit for the nokia car phone behind that panel.
Does anyone know where else it might be please?
Ive also posted this thread in the 'electrics' section as it seemed the correct place to post. Apologies for multiposting, but theres not a single post there so I guess not many people browse that section, so Ive stuck it here also as I will have more chance of a response.
