And the problems just multiply

the dealer did not reprogram your rear module correctly.
- spoiler function setting is likely not turned on (as well as all the speed related settings)
- i have a feeling your tailLight warning is due to the module running on incandescent mode (997.1) mode as well (not LED 997.2). the latter setting is the last one in the list of coding settings on the rear module.
also make sure the part number of the newly replaced rear module is actually the 997.2 module (search the 997.2 rear conversion threads for the part number) - otherwise they put a .1 rear module in.
To be safe, i would get a photo read out of the rear module from another .2 pdk cab owner here (as similar spec to yours as possible) who has access to a foxwell/durametric - and then copy/compare the coding settings from there.
good luck

My son in law borrowed my scanner so waiting to get it back.
Will double check all that. Thanks for giving me a starting place.
The tail lights work fine - just have a dash warning
As far as drains - behind the front cowel and in the rear fender well.
I'll see if I can find the link
Still kicking myself for it

May be the only solution. That said, shouldn't Porsche at least blush a little bit knowing cars they sell for $120,000 and double or triple that need to be covered in tarp if parked outside during heavy rain to prevent water intrusion? A 20 year old Ford worth a small fraction will be sitting next to it, perfectly dry inside without tarp.

Dealing with a similar situation but with my 958 CTT. Had it in at a bodyshop recently for a rear bumper fender bender. Car came back to me with water intrusion on the passenger side. AC blower motor shorted out. Drains totally cleared. Body shop is still being indecisive about paying for the AC replacement... Car is still with Porsche. Been driving a 2023 base cayenne coupe in the meantime so I guess it could be worse...

The 997 requires maintenance and keeping those drains clear is part of the regimen. I am actually OK with this however I am very disappointed that Porsche did not put this in the owner's manual. Clogged drains are a very real issue with ownership and, frankly, not that big of a deal if they just exposed the procedure to owners. I discovered the drain issue when I literally heard water swooshing while driving. Needless to say I was a bit ticked off.

Just for the record - this was may fault. I have had a 911 cab for over 10 years. First trip in the rain my 996 flooded and I learned to keep all the drains front and rear clean. I just didn't check before I shipped it off.
