I'm going to disconnect my battery to work on my steering wheel soon and other than shoving a rag in the latch so the hood can't close/lock with no way to reopen, any special resets that need to be done when I re-connect? On my Italian car you have to recode the radio, go through a 30 point ECU restart list, stand on one foot and eat a bowl of spaghetti.. Just reconnect the terminal when i'm done, remove the latch blocker and go?

iirc i had to re-set the power windows [hold buttons up for 3 secs] .i forget if i had to do the clock. the radio was unaffected. you will get some dash lights but a drive of 50 feet or so and mine re-set

Gary, this is important but not sure if it relates to your year Cayman. On my CaymanR I had to first disconnect the negative cable first and then the positive when removing the battery. Upon reinstallation hook the positive first then negative last. If I didn't do this sequence I would have short circuited the electrical system or spiked it.

Very strange as the electrical "gods" shouldn't care either way but thanks for the info!
