Well I reached the Bank 1 solenoid, very easy to do just have to take the rear wheel/tire off.
Unplugged the solenoid and checked the resistance. There was a lot of resistance, off the charts on the scale I was using, not at all at 11-13 ohms.

I removed the solenoid and installed the new one. I can confirm that on an 03 Boxster S, this is a 15 minute job if one takes a ~7 minute break in the middle. Very easy.

Now to see if it fixes all my problems. Will update on that but do want to drive a little to make sure.
