slick write up... good pics and description too

 

Good advice. I was going to suggest a pry bar.

Careful here guys. Over at the Pelican air cooled board they were having a laugh at some Boxster owner who couldn't figure it out.

Lot's of comments about they guy being upset because he couldn't get at the panties he'd left in the trunk.

For the record it's all written up inside your owners manual and of course next time you'll replace your battery before it fails, ie when the motor starts cranking slowly.

 

I tried the procedure mentioned about, but...nothing.

Is there any other war to go about this. What could be wrong here? When I conect the negative of the battery charger to ground, after connecting the possitive to the connector on the fuse box, I can hear a click (like a small relay engaging) but then when i pull on the engine lid switch nothing happens.

Any ideas?

 

try 2 people... one on the hood - one on the switch, maybe with a little push down or slight (very gentle) lifting it will work ?

that would indicate a latch problem IIRC

 

Ivangene,

I finally found the cable under the rear left wheel well and I was ablw to opn the engine lid. I was a little bit tricky, but I finally found it.
Thanks to all for your help...now battery is charging.

 

Sounds like you were trying to use a battery charger instead of an actual battery. A charger doesn't have the juice to get the job done.

 

Can opener.

(I used the battery & jumper cable trick a while ago. It worked surprisingly well)

 

You need a good battery and some wires with clips. Works well.
The procedure is in the manual and in the cover over the fuse box, drives side foot well.
But if the battery has even a little bit of life left in it, you can open the hood with the button.
Don't ask me how I know all of this.

Good write up. After reading that I've moved my jumpstarter/charger from the trunk to the backseat.

 

You can also charge the battery using the cigarette lighter socket, I believe it's on a 5-amp fuse, so I wouldn't push too much current through it. I've done this before when I forgot to hookup the trickle charger.
