Precotion before Welding on a Boxster
Do I need to do other precotion than unpluging the battery?
I blown up a part of the electric system on my Kawasaki Ninja many years ago because i din't unplug the battery before weldering, is there other precotion to have on a porsche? thanks :) |
I've heard you should disconnect the ECU but I never have but I do use a surge protector that clamps onto the battery. I purchased it from Mac Tools and it's designed to protect the electronics from arc/wire feed welders.

From the 986 Factory Manual:
Electronic control modules Note! Protection against overvoltage To protect electronic control units from overvoltage during electric arc welding, the following work regulations must be observed: •When welding work is extensive, the electronic control units must be removed. Ensure that there are no electrically insulated parts between the earth connection and the welding point. •Remove clamp from negative terminal of battery and cover negative terminal of battery. •Connect the earth connection of the electric arc welding equipment as near as possible to the welding point on the part to be welded. •Do not touch electronic control units or electric cables with the earth connection or the welding electrode. |
