Similar thing happened to me a while back which turned out to be the phone/factory Motorola module under the drivers seat that was still pulling currant when the car was off.

Battery voltage can reekĀ all sorts of havoc on modern cars, have your battery checked first.

ThisĀ all started when I had a Mobridge Bluetooth phone kit installed and the installer only disconnected the phone functionality from the PCM unit and not the module under the seat as well.

Initially to troubleshoot had theĀ the entire starter loom and everything replaced (15yrs old so IĀ canĀ smile nowĀ and just call that preventative maintenance) but, all it turned out to be was one plug that needed to be disconnected under my seat!

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

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.

Weāve been away for a bit and the 997 has been tucked away in the garage.
I thought itād be best to take it for a run and the ABS light came on.
Rather than going straight home I pulled over and switched it off (in same vain attempt to maybe reboot it like a PC).
It wouldnāt restart, so we sat and waited for Ā a tow.
Instead of a nice meal at a local winery, we ended up having ham and cheese toastie for lunch.
All in all a grand day out.
Put it on the trickle charger and 2hrs later it fires straight back up.
Next I need to suss out if itās just battery or starter or starter / alternator cable. In the mean time itāll go on the trickle each night.
@dan_189
dropped a diagram here for the system onĀ the m96, which I would assume would be the same on the m97

AgreeĀ with when the battery is lowĀ all kinds ofĀ electronic issues can pop up! (sunroof operating on its own, airbag light, seat bolster pressure automatically increasing!)
Similar thing happened to me a while back which turned out to be the phone/factory Motorola module under the drivers seat that was still pulling currant when the car was off. ThisĀ all started when I had a Mobridge Bluetooth phone kit installed and the installer only disconnected the phone functionality from the PCM unit and not the module under the seat as well. I was getting a flat battery every 3- 4 days without driving! Drove me mad.

My guess is a good recondition cycle of your battery with the trickle charger overnight before you take her out,Ā especially if you're not driving it for more than a week or two at a time.
Good luck
Hi Dave,
I have a 997 CS2 same vintage, artic grey would be the only difference and no red seat belts if you remeber. Seems to me that if you have been away for an extended period thats to much of a coincedence, particularly if the car wasn't on trickle. I have the C-TEK charger with cigarette lighter adaptor, every time the car goes back into the garage inĀ goesĀ the adaptor to the cigarette lighter, and touch wood I have never had a problem in 5 years of ownership.
I've got the C-tek charger and was able to get by until I figured out the cable was the problem. If the cable is toast the car wont charge the battery properly.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
