Hi

I have recently bought a Boxster S 07 but has a flat battery and cannot open the bonnet. Tried all usual methods stated with the booster pack on Fuse 3 without success. Have been told that there is a manual release cable under the near-side wheel arch. Is this true as cannot locate it? If it exists does anyone know exac :help: tly where I can find it? Thanks.

I trust you have tried using a spare battery on the jumper thing in the fuse box.

Some people have tried this without luck. I have a feeling they are not getting a good ground by using the door striker like it says to use in the owners manual. Try again using the door stay for the ground.

Hello Boxsternaut

Yes we've tried all that with no success. Would you know the exact whereabouts of the manual cable which is supposed to be able to pop the bonnet - somewhere under the wheel arch ??!??

Hello

Sorry I wss excited.... we got into the bonnet from underneath the car...and then through the carpets... We had not been successful trying the red fuse in the footwell and had not been able to locate the emergency manual release cable under the wheel arch. Once we were in we found out that it had not been pushed through.

Engine won't start though even after it's been on charge over night... Mel
