Electrical issue! My Boxster won’t start

My 2006 Boxster S will not start. Windows, lights, radio and accessories all work, but starter does not turn at all. I replaced the battery and still

no luck. Fuses look

ok. Clutch pedal switch seems to work ok. I’ve tried repeatedly locking and unlocking the car with the fob and also with the key. Same. Any one have ideas? Immobilizer issue perhaps?  I’m

out in the country and would be a long tow to the nearest city ! Any help appreciated!

Clutch pedal microswitch can be checked with an ohmmeter.

The crankshaft position sensor (CPS) can be checked with a Porsche specific fault reader.

Both can cause the issue you are having.

So I had the car towed to a great independent shop. On visual inspection of the engine compartment, they found a rat's nest and the starter cable had apparently been chewed into two. A relatively easy repair.  Thank you to Scan Automotive in North Vancouver!
