Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I hope someone has an idea!!!! 2001 911 turbo 30,000, miles. Trickle charger flashed red but never turned green. When I tried to start car it was 100% dead everywhere. Not even a dash light anywhere. Driver door then would not close and latch to lift hood to replace battery is dead, as is engine hood latch. Are these latches electro mechanical?? Please let me know what I can do. Thanks

POST 2Original post

Check the battery posts. Mine did the same thing - the + terminal had swelled and partially ejected itself from the battery case. Here's a YouTube video showing how to get the hood open w/ a dead battery. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqYfayMGyz4

POST 3Original post

Lots in Search. Start by getting access to another car+jump leads to open the frunk(search). Check the date code on the battery- is it more than 4 years old? If so fit new battery.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks much!!! I'm going to try it!! Hope 997 youtube car works same as 996!!

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

battery seems fried and defective (not just dead) . In that case can I pop hood by applying power through cigarette lighter or fuse panel????

POST 6Original post

Probably not. The battery, even though it is bad, will probably suck up all the power you apply through the small lighter wire. Time to find the emergency hood release cable. You can clean your radiators if it requires removing the bumper.

POST 7Original post

I don't believe you can properly remove the bumper without opening the hood. There are 3-4 screws under the latch cover. There is a way to clamp the fuse box and body of car to open the hood.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
