Just went through this whole dead battery ordeal with my 1998 Boxster

So glad battery went flat in my garage! Can’t imagine this happening in an airport parking lot.

I used my YouTube mechanics certificate to understand the problem and decided on the jumper wire attached to the C3 fuse in the fusebox method
Don’t own a jump box so it required power via jumper cables and my suv

The only step not covered in the videos is once power is connected, Boxster lights we’re flashing away but frunk latch would not unlock until i used the key in the door to lock, then unlock the door....only then did the latch unlock

Pretty simple cure for such a big problem, cleaning up all the gear took more time than the fix
Why oh why did Porsche design such a task?
Hope this helps. I now keep a jumper wire inside the console cause you can’t get to it in either trunk if it happens again. Unreal
