Early 2001 986 Boxster (07/2000 production date) 78K miles Vehicle experiences sporadic electrical failure for only a split second, rarely shuts the car off completely. but the car stumbles...all electrical devices are affected. if the radio is on, it will cut off then back on (displaying "PORSCHE" on the face). headlights will flicker, dashboard lights flicker. Extreme cases will be at idle or off power and applying brakes, if headlights are on they flash off and back on. all dash warning lights will come on momentarily. car will cut off but come right back without having to restart. during this extreme case, when brake lights are activated or window power switch there will be an audible squeak sound coming from the fuse / relay box. this happens 60% -70% of driving time. day or night. with all accessories on or no accessories on. At idle, under power or off power coasting or braking. the extreme case happens about 50% of drive time. while under power on the freeway and headlight on, you can see the headlights flickering on the road. work i have completed: i have located and checked all 18 ground points. there is no evidence of water damage under either seat (convertible top drains are clear) clean battery terminals strong battery (i use a trickle charger if the car sits more than a week) just replaced ignition switch (i thought i had found this to be the problem) i am at wit's end with this one...i am the first to admit that electrical issues are not my strong point. Help me Obi Wan Kenobi, you are my only hope. thank you
