i have a 97 Boxster with no power and the hood is locked. Is the pull wire under the right front headlight the only way around this? My fuse box does not have the option for a battery or charger connection.

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.

you can try rubbing your head on the car to build up enough static electricity, but i don't think that will work. pull the cord. also, search is your friend.

thanks. With no hair the static things tough! I heard you could put power through the cigarette lighter somehow to just open the trunk?
