Read evidence and context

Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that contain suggestions: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

As a former engineer, it amazes me that the remote sensor uses so much power to listen.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

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

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My '99 996 cab started right up after sitting for over two weeks. Had to use the key to open the door of course. Not bad for a six year old battery. Living on the Edge over here.

POST 2Original post

You sir... are a savage haha

POST 3Original post

I felt exactly the same way when I let mine sit for 10 days and started with no issues. What's the deal with the "key to open door" thing? Does the sensor turn just itself off after a few days for power savings?

POST 4Original post

Yes. After 5 days the key remote electronics shut down. Have to use the key. When I'm leaving town, I just leave it unlocked in my garage. Hop in and it starts right up. Longest thus far is 13 days.

POST 5Original post

Quotes source post: 13292482

Yes. Car locked - after 5 days of inactivity the remote sensor shuts off to conserve power. Not a bad idea actually.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

As a former engineer, it amazes me that the remote sensor uses so much power to listen. Must be the 90s era technology. A car battery is enormous.

POST 7Original post

Is this behavior MK1 specific ? my '04 just sat 12 days untouched on alarm pathetic, right

POST 8Original post

mine is hooked up to a battery tender without fail when not being driven.

POST 9Original post

This is a timely thread. Just heading out on a Euro vacation for 20ish days. We'll see what happens... R

POST 10Original post

Spend the $20 on a battery maintainer and never again wonder if the battery will be shot...

POST 11 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have a trickle charger at home but on occasion I need to leave my P-car in my office garage (which doesn't have a power outlet).
