Chime in 2000 Boxster S

[yimmy149]

Somewhat related question - my 01 S does not chime when I leave the parking lights on - is that normal? I've done it a couple times now.

The lights on our Boxsters are wired to German specs. In many situations the law there requires that you leave your parking lights on when leaving the car. You may also notice that you can leave just the left parking lights or just the right parking lights on. This, too is per German law. There are many places where you park with two wheels up on the curb -- left or right. You then leave the parking lights on the out board side turned on. It takes a bit of getting used to, but after a few years it actually feels strange to come back to the US of A.

Good to know. I guess I will just make sure to keep the battery in tip-top shape, since I did it again last night!
