Hi everyone,
This topic has been sort of touched on previously, but I'm hoping to get a little more advice from you pros before returning to the location I have my '00 986 auto/Tiptronic base Boxster garaged at...and regrettably, up on blocks.
All was working fine until, midway through my replacement of the fuel filter, I put my father in charge of disconnecting the battery. He disconnected the incorrect terminal first, I believe, and the frunk lights flickered more than once as a result of his attempted disconnection.
Anyway, after this, the windows rolled up beyond the normal height (to the point that they go up above the soft top lip when you close the door) and the trunk latches no longer work. More concerning, though, is the fact that the car won't start; the dashboard lights light up (including the red light on the temperature gauge), air starts blowing out of the vents, but there is not even a sound of the starter motor trying to turn over.
Have we fried the immobilizer? This can't be just the ignition switch having impeccable timing in failing, right? For the record, I tried doing the lock/unlock with the key in the door to no avail, and checked all fuses in the fuse box - all appeared fine/not damaged.
Please let me know what you guys think is the core issue here, and if possible, any tips you have for popping the frunk when the latch won't budge at all. (Note: I don't have the orange thing to plug into the fuse box to connect a jumper cable to, but can buy it if you guys think I need it/wouldn't mind pointing me in the product direction).
Thanks for all your help, and for existing!
