Re: Mystery Lock Up
I would pull codes to see if anything pops there. If you don't have a reader, you can have it done on most any auto parts store, i.e. O'Reillly, AutoZone, etc. I remember your car is a 2.7, but can't remember year. Pedro mentioned programming the car to lock automatically, but my 97 986 doesn't have that feature, or if it does, it's not in my manual & I've never experienced auto-lock. Check your owner's manual, as it should be covered there, I think.

Also, doesn't make sense to me for a car to be programmed to auto-lock when both trunks are open.
