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.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Dead battery again. On the 2002 996s does anyone know how I can access either of the two lids? I heard on the prior 996 models that there is a cable hidden under the fender liner of the pass. side front wheel well. Can anyone confirm if this is still the case? I know about the battery terminals but for some reason I can't get that to work after trying everything... Thanks

If you remove the fuse panel cover (near the clutch pedal) there's instructions on how to do it.

You can also stick a 12 volt chager into your lighter to give enough juice to pop the lid. Worked for me.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for all of your replies. I messed around for this for a couple of days. Tonight I tried plugging into the cig lighter socket and it worked like a charm. Now I need a new battery, thanks again!
