That usually means your cars is still in the transit mode. If so, then the trunk lights also will not come on unless the ignition is switched on.

Hello,

I have the exact same problem. How do you get it out of transit mode?

With a PST2 you go to special function, sports car hand-over. This is supposed to be done by the dealer before delivery to the customer, but sometimes they forget.

About once a year on the message boards someone who just bought a used older Boxster wonders why the interior and trunk lights will not come on unless the ignition is switched on. Turns out the hand-over was not done and the car has been in the transit mode all these years.

Hello Toolpants,

Fascinating, what a bizarre feature. What else might not work correctly in this state? (might explain alot)

My caris a 99 so I doubt it is a dealer "Hand over" issue. I seem to recall it behaving correctly before an accident and before the security box under the drivers seat was replaced (soaked).

Could the installation off the box and whatever programing is required involve this function? (Giving the potential for a goof).

Regards, PK
