The battery was jump-started with a lithium battery and ran briefly before the car was turned off, and then it wouldn’t start again.

I noticed the hazard lights came on when I applied external power from a friend's car, but the engine would not turn over, which led me to replace the battery.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi everyone, I’m seeking advice on my Porsche 996.1. After the battery died during extended storage, I replaced it, but I’ve noticed a couple of issues: -The radio and A/C controls will not turn on. -The driver’s side window won’t roll down the last inch. The battery was jump-started with a lithium battery and ran briefly before the car was turned off, and then it wouldn’t start again. A new battery has been installed, and all fuses appear to be in good condition. I'm concerned that the jump-start may have caused some electrical issues. I noticed the hazard lights came on when I applied external power from a friend's car, but the engine would not turn over, which led me to replace the battery. Any suggestions on where to begin troubleshooting these electrical problems? Thanks in advance!

Re the window-there is a proceedure to re-train your window lift system. I went through this after replacing lift parts on my 99. Go over to the Rennlist 996 forum and inquire there or do a search there.
