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

So I recently relocated my TT to another home we use in the winter only. Anticipating the Summer storage, I was thinking I should disconnect the battery and leave the frunk popped for when I return. Then I started thinking that when I just go away for a few weeks, maybe I should leave the frunk popped in case the battery dies while I'm gone. Does this turn on the frunk light, just having it popped and not opened all the way? If so, that would surely drain the battery. What do others do? I really don't want a dead battery and a closed frunk, and I'm not too excited about leaving a battery tender on the car for months on end. Thanks Nick

POST 2Original post

You have an emergency cable that opens the back lid. Did you find it? If your battery go's dead you can open the rear lid by using that cable or by applying 12 volts to the fuse panel to open the rear lid. Read you operators manual. What year twin turbo do you have?

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

It's a 2009….and I SHOULD read the manual…duh! I'm talking about the trunk, not the engine compartment. That's where the battery is, and there's a light in there. It happened to me once before with a 996 and I had to go through the fuse box…gotta be a better way. Maybe I can just pull the fuse for the trunk light, and leave the hood popped.

POST 4Original post

Im not sure if the 2009 has those cables. The earlier models have a cable for the front compartment and engine compartment. I meant to say front compartment for the battery. I have 3 Porsche's I know where the battery is. LOL

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

So in answer to my own question, after reading the owners manual (duh, again!), I found that the luggage compartment light will turn off after 2 hours, once you pull the key, to save the battery, at least for my year. Also, the remote control locking system will stop working after 7 days for the same reason, and you'll have to open the drivers door with the key. German engineering strikes again. Nick
