This is not a probability of success.

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

Suggestion
Take out the sidelight (passenger side) and use a flashlight to look up towards the back of the headlight bucket....on the left side (looking from the back) you should see a sliver braided cable.

If you can't see it, you might have to take out the passenger's side wheel lining....unless you have the battery positive connector in the fuse box, then use a ground off the car body.

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

I have a 1999 996 cab with a dead battery. Can anyone tell me where there is a manual release. the trickle charger in the cigarette lighter has not worked.

POST 2Original post

You need another battery to power up the system. It's explained in the owners manual, on this forum (using search) and on other web sites. There is a release cable in the right fender well, but it's easier to power up the system through the fuse box.

POST 3Original post

My 99 C2 had a manual cable release....yours had an e-release? I didn't think they went to the e-release till 2000....dunno. Take out the sidelight (passenger side) and use a flashlight to look up towards the back of the headlight bucket....on the left side (looking from the back) you should see a sliver braided cable. Try to fish it out the sidelight opening and pull on it.....it's the emergency cable release. If you can't see it, you might have to take out the passenger's side wheel lining....unless you have the battery positive connector in the fuse box, then use a ground off the car body.

POST 4Original post

THere should be a cable release behind the indicator lights
