Default How do I get my Boxster to lock?

Last fall, Kurt very graciously helped me get Baron back on the road with a new anti-theft computer and a reprogramming. Between that and a new MAF sensor, he's been trouble free from a driving standpoint.

But, ever since the re-flash, I cannot get the car to lock. The key buttons do not work and haven't since the reflash. No biggie; I was told this was a possibility when the re-flash was done. But, when I lock the door with the key in the lock, it only locks the driver's door, not the passenger. I have even tried the emergency "3 quick turns of the key to the right" to alarm the car and lock it and still it only locks the driver's door.

Any ideas how to get my pass door to lock? It's a 98 Box, non S.

Is the new computer custom? I would start looking there.

No, it is an OEM replacement installed at the Porsche dealership and the car was reflashed at the same time.
