The luggage compartment(s) warning light did not start until 2001 when the 3 button remote came out.

Page 68 above that shows the warning light I believe is from a 2002 owners manual. The same diagram is show on page 66 of the 2001 owners manual.

You can also tell it is not from a 2000 owners manual because it is a diagram of the new style cluster that started in 2001.

Thanks, Tool Pants ! You are correct - I just looked at page 236 and it lists hp as 225 base / 258 S which would make it 2003 / 2004.

I downloaded the owner's manual from RennTech. You might want to let Loren know it is improperly labeled...

You are also correct.

I just looked at the "2000" manual on renntech and it is not for a 2000.

It has PSM, the glovebox, 3 button remote, glass top, cupholders that swing out. And other stuff that did not exist for model year 2000.

Well, Loren is a 996 owner after all....

He has deleted it as a 2000 owners manual. Some guy scanned it a few years ago and said it was for a 2000.

I have most of the 986 manuals in paper form.

So the '99 Boxster don't have the sensor on the front latch to alert you the hood is open.
So unless you hear the whistling there is no way to know?
If there a way to add the sensor to the hood latch to alert you if it is open?
Thanks!
