I left the lights on the other day when I parked the car in the garage and killed the battery. (08 Turbo). Had to open the door with the key but no way to open the frunk. I researched the forum and found that if you open the fuse box, pull out the + red terminal and put jumpers on the terminal and door strap, then push key remote for the frunk it will open it. IT WORKED! Saved me a tow to the garage.

After charging the battery for the night I started the car. Many faults showed up. PASM not working. door functions not working. Fault light, check engine light on. BUT, just last week I happened to have purchased a Foxwell NT520 pro scanner and plugged it in, read the codes, erased the codes and now everything works!!!! (Except I could not figure out how to turn off the Service Engine Soon light). The scanner paid for itself on its first use.

Don't all those lights automatically go away after a battery swap/recharge once you drive for 100' or so?

Otherwise, yeah, I think being locked out of the frunk with a dead or disconnected battery is a sort of rite of passage with owning a 997. Welcome to the club!

lol...guess I'm not a full fledged member yet (fingers crossed)

p.s. I think I will put a reminder on my calendar to buy a new battery when I (finally...arrggh!!!) get my car back.
