boxster won't start!
 
2000 boxster has a dead battery, this is the order of what I did and happened. I opend door but window did not go down like normal, got in car would not start, I pulled the outside emergency hood release opened hood hooked up external jump battery to start car, alarm went off I turned off with key fob, I tried to start the car all the lights in the car started flashing windows starting going up and down like when you open the door, heard a clunk clunk clunk from the starter. I thought the jump battery was not strong enough. I then tried to jump off my truck but lights, windows, and clunking noise again still won't start. I then disconected battery to reset computer for 3-4 min. tried to jump off truck again but still all lights inside flashing and windows moving and still will not start. please help me if you can!

The Starter would explain none of the other symptoms. What might explain it would be if something is amiss in the black box under your seat which controls all the security stuff. If that for instance gets soaked from a leak it can get really weird (reach down and see if it’s wet).

Your starter may or may not be related, bad ground strap maybe. Try running your negative lead from your jump straight back and clip it to the block right next to the starter.

Regards, PK

P.S. Make sure your battery terminals are not corroded, if so rough up the post and the clamps with some coarse sandpaper...hey my cars black to...
