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.

Good morning to everyone : ( Sorry about my english!)
I have reviewed many post on this issue. I explain:
I have a US
Porsche Boxster S 986 (2002)
,after 10-14 days of no driving has run out of battery.
I open the door with manual key, i bought a charger / external battery :connect POSITIVE (+) clamp to the Red fuse with the front luggage compartment logo it,s next to the pedals and the negative pole to the door latch,
then he starts buzzing the alarm/horn but the release button doesn´t open the trunk or get the key to stop the alarm contact and / or locking and unlocking the door with the key several times.
I have also tried Lighter battery charger (during 24 h) 12 V, to get enough energy to open the trunk or to detect the key to stop the alarm.
Anyone know what else I can do ???
I tried searching the EMERGENCY RELEASE WIRE its supposed to be in the right wheel under the plastic??
Could someone explain step by step how to find it?? its NECESSARY TO REMOVE THE WHEEL? I HAVE THE TOOLS IN THE TRUNK ...
I did not call the on the road assistance service ( 24h), because I had a bad experience because they are not very used to handling these cars ...
I appreciate any help.
Thank you.

Dead battery hood Trunk release My advise! Be Prepared. - Pelican Parts Technical BBS

Hello JT. Hmm, I had an issue like this. To my me recollection the cable that you can pull to release is behind the front left tire. its in the wheel well facing you above the center of the wheel and somewhat behind the wheel. look for a flat flap of black plastic and peel is up and you'll see a cable that looks like a black bicyle cable. Pull that out like 4 inches until you hear the pop. Then your in. I think this opens the front truck. I realize this post my be after the fact since it has been a couple weeks. I now keep my Boxster charged with a $99 Battery Tender year round. Hope this helps.

The fuse box way, this didn't work for me. I had a porsche dealership mechanic to show up and he did it in 5 seconds. He just played with it, and I do mean he played with it. Grounded the ground, held the switch up and tapped the positive to the post in the fuse box a couple times. Direct connection didn't work for me
