Homelink LED Not Working?

[RoughDobermann]

Hi All:

 

I went to program the Homelink buttons on my "new" 2006 Boxster yesterday and noticed that the LED was not doing it's blinking thing when I did the delete code reset.  Any ideas?

 

Thanks!

[RoughDobermann]

Oh, and my heated seats apparently aren't working either.  No LED next to the seat icon.

I have the same issue - did you find out a fix?

I have deleted your two other duplicate posts.

 

Start with fuse F2 (80A) (on the current distributor).

[Mark MacDonald]

F2 ?   location?

[Loren]

Remove the panel under the passenger side dash to expose the power distributor panel.

 

 

F2 is labeled and the is the 2nd one in from the left.

Be sure to remove it from the circuit and test with an ohm meter.

Sorry for multiple questions - I have removed the cover from the footwell - Is the power distribution panel on the front wall (black box that is closed). Assume you need to open this box using the tabs and the fuses will be visible...

[Loren]

Yes, it is on the firewall and has a protective cover.

[Mark MacDonald]

Struggling!!!   Holy cow - finally got the cover plate off. All I see is wires - no fuses!?

[Loren]

An 80 amp fuse is a fusible link - it looks like a wire.

[Mark MacDonald]

How is the power distribution box attached to the firewall?   Can it be pulled down somehow?  It is jammed up behind what looks like the air vent box?

Sorry for all these questions......

It is mounted to the firewall and   actually penetrates the firewall to access the battery cable.  It cannot easily be pulled down without disconnecting several things.

[Mark MacDonald]

How on earth do you replace a fuse?   I cant figure out how to create any space.....I had a hard enough time to open the box???

 

[JFP in PA]

With difficulty.  You should not be working in this area with the battery connected.  If you cannot get a small tool in and pop the fuse out, your other option is to drop the heater box out of the way.

Did this fix the homelinc ? I am experiencing the same problem.

[Mark MacDonald]

I was never successful in removing the fuse - It is a difficult thing to accomplish without moving the airbox.  Good luck

[ironman1]

I checked and my heated seats led also does not light so exactly same problem. Will try my luck this weekend in trying to find and pull fuse. If I can  get fuse out is it a simple replacement with a new fuse ? anyone know ?

 

Mark, what did you finally do to rectify the problem, take into to shop ? How much ?

 

Sorry for all the questions

Better yet by chance would someone have a picture of what I am looking for ?

Thanks
