Where is the main relay board 997 C4S convertible?

[perleman]

I thought it was supposed to be above the fuse board in the drivers footwell but I really can't see it at all - help? Car is right hand drive btw... trying to find the PSE relay.

THanks

Guys is anyone on this ultra technical forum able to help? I looked above the fuse board & I have a little tray that is horizontal, with the relays in facing up, that is almost impossible to reach. It has 5x relays in it & they are all small brown ones without porsche part numbers on. My car is a 997 C4S convertible - can anyone help!?

I'm after the PSE relay, to do the cutout mod on, could it be on relay board 2 behind the seats? I'm wondering if the coupe & cab are different as the cab has a realy board in the back that mainly controlls the roof mech?

Here are the relay positions...

As I recall a relay is not used for the PSE on 997 series cars - it is controlled from the DME.

Ahhhhhh OK that explains it - thanks a lot - it must be a 996 only hack.

You could simply rewire the PSE vacuum solenoid to a toggle (SPST) switch that enables a positive 12 volt connection. You'll need to disable (disconnect or open) the wire from the DME. Exercise caution dealing w/ the DME. They are expensive to repair/replace.
