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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi, i was preparing my 2007 boxster for the summer. I always remove the battery for the winter. And I leave hood, trunk and windows open in the garage because Ive been down this road before. SO i reinstall the battery and (foolishly) close the hood. I try to start it, no sound from the starter at all, but the dashboard lights up and, weirdly, the spoiler goes up. So its probably a weak battery problem, but now the switches in the cabin to open the hood and trunk doent work so I cant get back to battery. Is there an alternative way to get the hood open from inside the cabin?? Hoping i dont have to remove the tire, theres no room for that in the garage. Thanks

You've a 987.1... so I'm guessing here... Look for the cable to pull to manually release the frunk. The process is revealed upon these pages... do a quick search. You'll find it. Likely in the driver side behind the wheel well somewhere. I'm running out the door and saw your post.

You can power the frunk latch on a 986 from the fuse block with jumper cables. Does the 987 have the same feature?

yes - same or two 9v batteries in series (one sometimes if it's fresh and fully topped up). Good luck
