I highly recommend getting a lion jump pack.

I find Boxsters are hard on batteries. Just vampire drains.

That being said. What exactly do you mean by wing turn over?

Starter turns, won’t fire?

Or no engine rotation what do ever?

If you turn the key and it won’t turn over
It’s either the battery, or sometimes the ignition switch.
The clutch pedal switch also comes into play.

If it turns over, but not fire, it’s typically immobilizer, fuel, or crank position sensor related.

I might have missed a few others, but this is a good start.

No engine rotation. I already jumped the clutch pedal switch to rule that out and I actually replaced the entire ignition assembly about 2 years ago with a genuine Porsche assembly (before I knew about the cheap way of just replacing the electrical switch). I'll retrace my steps working on the radio but other than the radio ground that is hooked up the the alarm, is there anything in the radio area that can cause this?
