Where is the battery located in a 2002 Porsche 996?

The battery is located in the front of the car - under the hood, in an area just below the windshield. It has a plastic battery cover over it, which can be removed by twisting a couple of locking tabs. Access is then straightforward

Some of what you can do is model year dependent. I'll list all the methods I've ever heard of, you pick the one that applies to your model year and for which you have the equipment.

CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION -OBSERVE POLARITY WHEN DOING ANY OF THE ELECTRICAL METHODS BELOW.(Polarity means don't connect positive to negative or vice versa.)

First method

And probably thesimplest is to go to Radio Shack and find the adapters for theCigarette Lighter Plug with Banana Jack adapter (Cat # 270-1521).

This sells for about $8. Itplugs into the accessory jack and the other end has two terminals, one red andone black. Get yourself some color coded cable as well and then connect to agood battery being very careful to observe the proper polarity. You'll probablyhave to hold the adapter in the accessory jack as the Porsche lighter socket is slightlylarger than for American/Japanese cars in some model years. You should be able to then open the fronthood. You can also get two of the adapters, run wire between them observingpolarity, and then connect between two cars. CAUTION: don’t attempt to startthe “dead” vehicle in this manner. Because of high starting currents damage ishighly likely to occur. Use this only to get the front hood open, and then jumpthe car in the normal manner should you chose to do so.

Method two.

Some people have also reported that a battery maintainer which plugs into theaccessory jack will also allow you to pop the hood. I think I remember that youneed to have it plugged in for an hour or so to get some level of charge on thebattery before the hood release will work.

Third Method

Inside thetop of the driver's front wheel well, just aft of the spring coil mount, is alittle rectangular corner in the black plastic shroud that lines the inside ofthe wheel well. Reach under this, and you will feel a 'wire' about1/8' in diameter. Too thick for an electrical wire (and not in a harnessanyway). Tug this cable gently out from behind the shroud and get a good gripon a loop of it. Now pull hard away from the headlight once, and prepare tohear the music of the alarm as the front hood pops open. Grab a 10mm wrench andtake off one of the battery cables to silence the alarm.

Eric adds:

'If you lay down under thefront bumper you will see 4 openings and you can look all the way upthem to the hood. The space between the trunk and bumper.

All theway up on the passenger side you will see the piping for the AC. (atleast that's what I think it is). In my case I was also able to see the1/4' cable that runs from the trunk latch towards the passenger frontwheel well.

I wasable to reach up and hook that cable and pull down on it to open thetrunk, I then rerouted the cable making it easier to do again ifneeded.

Iactually used part of a plant hangar my neighbor had in his garage anda flashlight so I could see what I was doing. It would help if youcould jack up that side and stabilize it to make it a bit easier to getunder there.'

Fourth Method

...and from thePorsche TSB.

'Should the front and rear hood releases become inoperativedue to a disconnected or discharged battery, the following procedure will allowthe hoods to be operated electrically under these conditions.
· Open the left door.
· Using an external battery, connect the negative lead to the door stop.
· Connect the positive lead to both sides of fuse 'C3' (seeillustration below).
· With the door open, move the door latch with a screwdriver into the closedposition.
· Using the key, lock and unlock the door.
· The front and rear hood releases can now be operated.

By the way there are severalbatteries that people have used successfully. I replaced mine with a SearsInternational Diehard at about $100. (Mike interjects here to suggest going to my page on batteries for a complete list of batteries known to fit the Boxster.) I don't remember exactly which one but itwas correctly shown in the Sears computer database. When replacing, empty yourfront trunk and actually get into the thing with your feet on the floor. Thenchanging the battery becomes easy. Otherwise, it is very cumbersome liftingfrom the side or front when you are outside the car.

When and owner called Porsche because he was still having problems, they suggested:

1) You need to try to open the lid using the KEY REMOTE, not the switch on the floor
2) Since the front lid had been sealed shut for 4 months, he said to press down on it (on the Porsche logo) and try to prop it up while trying to open it. Sometimes the rubber seals stick enough that the lid doesn't have enough oomph to pop open.

Fifth method

Applicable toMY1997 thru MY2000 (compliments of Joe King):
To open the front trunk when the battery is dead you can use the emergencyrelease cable which can be accessed with a few tools, use the battery procedureoutlined in Porsche Technical Bulletin 1/96 5510 or use my method whichrequires a small screwdriver and flashlight. It allows you to open the fronthood lid in about 10 seconds once you learn the trick. My procedure is outlinedbelow:
1. Both trunk levers are cable operated. When the alarm is set, a solenoidlatches the two trunk levers. If the battery dies while the alarm is set, it isnecessary to open the door with the key. Opening the door with the key does notunlatch the trunk levers since there is no power to operate the solenoid.
2. To learn how to unlatch the trunk levers, examine under the front trunklever by looking through the slot between the two trunk levers with aflashlight. Look for the tab on the underside of the front trunk lever.Directly below the tab is a small U shaped cutout. When the lever is pulled up,the tab drops into the small U shaped cutout. When the alarm is set, a smallwhite plate slides over the small U shaped cutout from the center of the cartowards the outside of the car. This prevents you from pulling up the leverbecause the tab cannot pivot down into the small U shaped cutout.
3. To unlatch the front trunk lever, use a very thin shaft straight slotscrewdriver (I used an Xcelite R3323 which has a very thin 3'shaft). Slidethe screwdriver between the two trunk levers and insert it between the solenoidplate and outside rear edge of the U shaped cutout and slid the plate towardthe center of the car and pull up on the front trunk lever.
To test this procedure (without waiting for a dead battery):
1. With the drivers door open, move the black door latch to the closedposition, the second click. This is done by using a screwdriver to move theblack lever portion of the door latch toward the outside of the door until youhear a distinct click followed by a second distinct click. IMPORTANT: At thispoint do not slam the door shut since the door latch is in the latched positionand may be damaged when making contact with the door jab. Step 4 explains howto reset the door latch.
2. Lock the car using the remote or key. The alarm will be set and the trunklevers latched. Don't sit in the car because the alarm is set.
3. At this point you can use the above procedure to open the front trunk. Thealarm may sound when you pull up on the lever since you are opening the trunk.This is determined by the front trunk switch adjustment.
4. IMPORTANT: After opening the front trunk using this test procedure you mustunlock the car using the remote or key followed by pulling up on the doorhandle to unlatch the door latch.

Porsche Boxster Hood Release

How To Prevent This From Being A Problem

TheTowing Eye Hack enables you, the owner, to open the front trunkquickly, when the battery is dead. It's the fastest way to gain accessto your front trunk if/when your battery is dead.

Disclaimer:the Towing Eye Hack is for Boxster owners only. Non-owners should neverpull the Towing Eye Cap to see if the owner did this hack. If this hackis ever utilized for evil purposes the evil-doer will surely go to avery hot place for all eternity.Often done while pulling the front bumper to clean the radiators.

Tools needed:
* Wire coat hanger
* Wire cutter (dykes)
* Flashlight
* Wire ties (plastic straps used to bundle wires)

Procedure:
1. Remove Towing Eye Cap in front bumper(or remove the bumper)
2. Open front trunk
3. Loosen spare tire in front trunk - loosen the wing nut in the middle of the spare tire
4. Remove tool kit behind spare tire
Note: Feel free to check your Owner's Manual for Instructions onremoving and reinstalling your Boxster's headlights. Do not followthese instructions to remove and reinstall the headlights if they'rewrong Reading instructions before doing work will take time and it mayalso cause dryness of the mouth, headaches and paranoia
5. Locate Headlight Removal Tool in tool kit
6. Release trunk liner (carpet)in the area inside the front trunk on the passenger side
7. Remove the rubber plug that covers the access hole to the headlight release on the passenger side
8. Insert Headlight Removal Tool into the hole engaging the nut
9. Rotate the Headlight Removal Tool and release the headlight
10. Remove headlight - Litronics headlights require releasing theplug while standard headlights unplug themselves when they slide out
11. Headlight slides out/forward - note the round tabs on theheadlight that slide in tracks mounted inside the headlight area in thecar
12. Place the headlight somewhere safe from falling and damage
13. Locate front trunk emergency release wire which is taped to the side of the trunk inside the headlight opening. It looks like this wire with the circular 'handle'.

14. Pull the front trunk emergency release wire free of the plastic tape.
15. Get a wire coat hanger and cut a piece about 10' long - make a small hook (small 'U' shape) in one end
16. Insert the hooked end into the Towing Eye hole in the front bumper
17. Using a flashlight if necessary, move the emergency trunkrelease wire so that you can hook it with the coat hanger hook - hookthe trunk release wire in the middle of the wire, not the loop handle
18. Once you've hooked the emergency trunk release cable with thecoat hanger, pull the coat hanger hook back out of the towing eye sothat a loop of the emergency trunk release wire comes out the hole(it's not necessary to pull it all the way out)
19. Using a wire tie, loop it around the emergency trunk releasewire and around the 'fishing line' that is used on most Boxsters toconnect the Cap to the bumper. If your Towing Eye Cap does not have thefishing line (meaning your Towing Eye Cap is loose) then you can runthe wire tie through the round hole in the Towing Eye Cap meant for thefishing line.
20. Your wire tie should now be looped around the emergency trunkrelease wire and the fishing line in the Towing Eye Cap. Keep the loopof the wire tie large - there's no need to tighten it so the emergencyrelease wire is pulled tight to the Towing Eye Cap. You'll want thereto be a length of wire tie.
21. Push the loop of exposed emergency trunk release wire backinto the hole, tuck the wire tie back into the hole and put the TowingEye Cap back into place in the front bumper.
22. Use your wire coat hanger to fish the emergency trunk releasewire handle (the wire has a loop handle) and pull it back towards whereit was taped in place - it won't reach that spot any more but you justwant to find a place to tuck the emergency trunk release wire and loophandle out of the way where it won't snag on anything.
23. Replace the headlight making sure the tabs slide back in the tracks.
24. Once it's back in place you'll need to use the HeadlightRemoval Tool to latch the headlight securely back into place. You'llneed to hear a snap or 'pop' that indicates the headlight is latchedsecurely. Check it by tugging on the headlight to make sure theheadlight is locked back in place and won't come flying out when youstop the first time you drive your Boxster.
25. Replace the Rubber Plug and the trunk liner back in place.
26. Pack up your tool kit and replace it behind the tire
27. Tighten up the nut holding the tire in place
28. Check your headlight to make sure it's securely locked in place
29. Next time your battery is dead (unfortunately, it's only amatter of time before it happens) don't get concerned . Remove theTowing Eye Cap, pull the wire tie out of the hole and pull on it topull the emergency front trunk release wire out (no need to pull it allthe way out). Pull on the emergency front trunk release wire and unlockyour front trunk.
30. Jump start your car or charge your battery. Think about how much easier this is than other solutions.
