What This Product Does

The flexible cable carries mechanical movement from the associated door control to the connected latch or locking mechanism. It is routed within the door shell or trim-panel assembly.

Functions

• Links the applicable door control and latch mechanism
• Transmits movement through the cable sheath
• Allows the connected door-release mechanism to operate
• Provides flexible routing inside the door assembly

Technical Details

• Genuine Porsche component
• Used in door trim-panel, door-panel, door-shell and door-lock assemblies
• Internal diagram remarks include /L and /R for applicable assemblies
• Diagram quantity varies by application: some assemblies specify one cable, while later door-shell diagrams specify two

Symptoms of Fault

• The affected handle moves without consistently releasing the latch
• The door cannot be opened from the associated control
• Unusually high free play is present at the handle
• Door release becomes intermittent or requires repeated operation
• The handle feels loose, disconnected or reluctant to return

Why Replacement Matters

A damaged, stretched or detached cable may no longer transfer sufficient movement to the latch. Renewing the cable can restore the original mechanical connection, although the handle, pivot lever, retainers and latch should also be inspected because faults in these parts can produce similar symptoms.

FAQs

• Is this cable suitable for either side?
  Supplied diagram data shows /L and /R remarks in several assemblies. Confirm the required application using the vehicle identification number and the existing door mechanism.
• Does PART 2 of 2 indicate that two cables are included?
  No. This wording identifies the component within an exploded diagram. The required vehicle quantity depends on the applicable assembly.
• What should be checked during installation?
  Inspect the handle, pivot lever, cable retainers, mounting points and door latch for wear, damage or incorrect attachment.
