Gary read my post from a few months back. Same issues even the C1 fuse.
Its from being lower than OEM.

Car died today, ideas on cause?

That sounds like my issues exactly, I changed the fuse today and it popped as soon as I turned the ignition.

Did we find any pictures of where the splice is?

thanks

If no one posts a picture, I will crawl under my car when I get home and get a pic if I can find it.
Surely someone has a wiring diagram.

Is it something that can be seen pretty easy if the car is up?

If so I'll put it up this weekend and see what I can find. Can you give me an idea where to look?


Thanks

Hey Gary, I bought a boxster last week. Im back baby!

If it would be any help, I can toss mine on the lift and take pictures of everything tomorrow evening. Im not sure where to find this wire though

You are welcome to come use the lift or come look under my car.

camshaft position sensor. There is one located on the top of the left cylinder head towards the front, and one on the right cylinder head towards the rear for the 5-chain motors used up to about 2001. For 2002 and later 3-chain motors, the sensor is located on the top of the left cylinder head towards the rear, and on the right cylinder head towards the front.



that is the location of the sensor. follow wires as they merge into a large harness.

C1 fuse is the engine electronics so it could be another sensor in the same line.


The wire shorted on the body.
