Hi,

I bought my first 911 a month ago, and now I am running into the first trouble!

When I unlock the car with the remote, the hood also gets open...

It is also not completely related to the remote, since when I drive, after a minute or two, it also get released.

( I was driving with a spare key that does not have a remote)

Any idea on where I should start looking?

The car was exposed to rain and humidity last week. Could it just be that?

I think I will just remove the fuse for the hood release while I find the problem.

Thanks

Simon

Vacuum around the switches. Sand and grit gets trapped in there and when it rolls around it causes the hood to pop. Ask me how I know :rolleyes:. Try that first before breaking out the tools.
