I left home for a couple of weeks and when I returned home my Beater Boxster would not start. The battery was almost completely dead, the courtesy or headlights didn't illuminate. The factory radio still had the flashing red light blinking.

I had propped my frunk lid open just in case the battery did die and would be able to charge it to life again. It turned out my son who was house watching did me a favor and shut the frunk lid.

Question:
I don't see any courtesy light in the frunk space. Would propping the lid cause a drain in the battery? I have gone through periods longer than this before and not have a problem with the battery discharging.

I was able to supply 12V to the cigarette light receptacle and provide enough current to pop my lid. I searched all over for the manual release without luck. I'll save that project for another day. Once I charged the battery overnight all seemed well in todays ride. I will not charge the battery tonight and see if it starts tomorrow morning.

Thank you in advance!
