Swapping engines

[LoneWolfGal]

Much obliged, 78F350! That's exactly what I needed. I'll check that fuse, but it could easily be the relay instead. Relays get corroded. Tapping it on a hard surface like a pack of cigarettes often fixes the problem.

This may sound stupid, but did you release the latch? I have another convertible with automatic latches, and when try to open the Boxster, I often forget to open the latch. It's a brief "WTF??" moment until I remember I have to unlatch it.

And btw, that sixth row by the spoiler switch is for spare fuses.

Fortunately, I had the presence of mind to release the latch above before I pressed the button. And I removed one of fuses from the sixth row, realized there were no contacts for it in the panel, and concluded they were spares. As for the missing fuses in the panel, mostly in row E, I assume those are for options my car is not equipped with. (BTW, I need to need to make sure all fuses are facing the same way, to keep my OCD at bay.) Thanks for chiming in, Al. That was actually an astute question. Sometimes the most obvious things are easy to overlook.
