After having so many battery problems, I finally bought an official Porsche trickle charger, and a new battery. Battery appears ok, but when I try to start the car nothing happens ?

I have a 2002 911 / 996 with only 21000 miles on the clock. Any ides ? Could it be a fuse, relay, starter motor perhaps ? HELP ! unsure.gif

if nothing at all happens, no engine turning over, no starter motor kicking in, nothing, I would guess the problem is in the ignition switch. I think others here have posted diy info about how to get it out and get a new one in. could be a relay, but I'd guess its the switch. good luck....

A faulty switch on top of the clutch pedal is also a possibility.

Thanks guys for the advice. But what it was, was my floor mat had crept up high on the floor,and hence the safety clutch switch,was not depressed. I pulled the mat back down into it's proper position, pushed in the clutch again,and she started right up. I couldn't believe it was something so simple !thankyou.gif

I don't know of one for all Porsche, but JP started one for the turbo and some issues are universal.
