When I lock or unlock the doors I hear a fairly loud sound that sounds like a motor or hairdryer. the gas door still locks and unlocks.

Sounds like a fuel door actuator going bad to me. Mine did the same recently. There is a DIY in the 996 section detailing the procedure to replace it and I believe the process is the same for the 986. It was a simple fix, but the working area is tight under the front fender. Took about 45 min total, the part cost about $50.

Good luck,
