Default Stranded in my driveway

Good day, Need help to understand what happen to my car. I move my car out of the garage to work on it. Adjusted the front suspension height (succes). Try to fix my head lights adjuster ( no sukes ), during that process I look at the fuse block, Found a relay which the white plug on the back was loose. Unplugged the battery. Removed the first computer on the side of the fender to get access behind put back everything together. Remove the driver seat do get a a good clean and lubricate the adjustment mechanism. Now end of the day plug the battery try to start the car nothing at all.....Look like nothing on the pod. check all the connection and still nothing. removed the pod and found nothing disconnected.. Look at the fuse block and can't find anything also. It does look like a immobilizer was activated but never had one. What else should I look???

do you mean no lights come on in the POD when you turn on the key?
If so replace the ground strap and or ,
add a battery jumper cable to the negative terminal and to one of the nuts on the shock tower

Is this on a 928? You’re adjusting your headlights and see a lose relay? I can’t picture that on a 928 (but can picture that on a 911).

If the battery was connected during your day of work, it's likely very discharged,. Verify proper voltage (12.4 or greater) with your multi-meter at the battery, and be sure that the terminals are clean and attached securely. Check the ground strap connection at the rear apron too.

You would hardly be the first person to discover that just sitting a few hours with the doors open will drain the battery enough to prevent starting.

Good morning everyone. I found the non starting issue. when I move the fuse block one of the bottom connector fell off and that was ( I guess ) one for the starting connection. The car start right up as usual and happy to report the car is back in the garage before the snow start falling on us today. Thanks for your replied and trying to help me with my issue
