If you open the top cover, you can use a screwdriver or other long tool to tap the starter while a friend keeps the key turned.

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.

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

  • Planet-9: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 1 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

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

POST 1Original post

Hi all, Need a little help. I am unable to find the location of the starter relay.

POST 2Original post

Are you sure there's an issue with the relay? I just replaced the starter on my 2010... the solenoid is usually what fails before the relay (on most cars). If you open the top cover, you can use a screwdriver or other long tool to tap the starter while a friend keeps the key turned. If the car starts, then it's the solenoid. I will say, after replacing mine, it sounds much faster/happier to turn the engine over... so it was due anyway for other reasons as well.

POST 3Original post

2007 cayman 987.1 Thank you for the reply. I had a problem with battery draining and little power to the starter. Replaced the battery and the power draining stopped. All elec items work but starter does not. Not a sound. I was hoping it was something simple like the relay. Also I do not know where the relay is located. Tks for the help, Gary

POST 4Original post

Sorry, I didn't answer that question. As I understand it, the relay block is just above the driver's feet... at least according to this video:

POST 5Original post

Schwinn, Thanks for the reply. I was able to get the relays down from under the dash. Can you help identifying which relay does what. I have the same problem with the relays found in the rear trunk dirver' s side. I just cannot figure out which breakers do what and really need to know which breaker is for the starter. tks, again, gary first pic is front under the dash breakers second pic is in the rear trunk, driver's side

POST 6Original post

Hi Gary - I'm moving this thread to the actual 987 technical section is belongs in... hang on. Maybe someone can point out which one it is. BTW - have you checked the clutch switch (assuming it's not automatic..)?

POST 7Original post

I don't know which one is for the starter. I believe the video I linked has the guy testing and pointing it out, so please watch the video. If that is not enough, you can put your hand on the relay, and turn the key to start - you should be able to feel the click in the relay that is working. Be sure to check them all, because you may feel the click through the base, so you're looking for which one has the highest "feel" of the click.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
