What a drama, I've had a small short in what appears to be my passenger side windscreen jet. It's damaged the plastic where the washers are and melted the washer. Very strange that no fuses have blown. Two fire engines came but I had disconnected the battery and put it out with the hose pipe before they arrived.
*UPDATE*
The right hand side heated water jet has failed. This resulted in a lot of white smoke in the cabin due to its location to the cabin filter. The actual connector cable is stripped of insulation and the actual jet surround caught on fire. The top valance around the bottom of the windscreen is fire damaged near the jet and requires replacing. The car is now back together, running and luckily no other sign of damage. I have contacted Porsche UK because in my opinion this should have not happened. The engineering team when designing the 997 must have been concerned because its not directly wired into the loom. If I have experienced this failure then it could happen to other 997 owners. So if you start your car one day and white smoke enters the cabin through the vents and from the top of the frunk, turn your ignition off immediately, open the frunk and check out the water jets for charring. Its any extremely unpleasant experience.
I will upload photos when I have shrunk the file sizes
*Another word of warning*
Do not do what I did, remove the negative terminal from the battery and close the frunk. The red post in the fuse box does not work with a disconnected battery. I then spent 30 mins removing the inner wheel cover to discover the previous owner must have snapped the mechanical release!!! I was fortunate because I had remove the battery cover and was able to reconnect the battery using fibreglass cable threading equipment.
