Regarding your radio code, check this forum on Renntech: Lost Radio Code - post your request here - 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S) - RennTech.org Forums

I recommend that you search this forum on the following terms:

Durametric
Ignition Switch

The Durametric will help you diagnose the fault codes. A regular OBD II reader may help, but it won't be able to read the Porsche-specific codes
The ignition switch is a weak point that can cause problems in some seemingly unrelated areas.

I'm not sure, but the "rear running light" you refer to may be the blank in the housing that is there for a rear fog light on right hand drive cars.

Good luck
