Hi All
looking for wisdom outside of what I should have done (i.e. kept it on a trickle charger, stored my locking nut inside the car, etc)....Here's the deal:
1. I have a 991.2 turbo under full warranty
2. It was on a trickle charger but in a remote garage
3. Unbeknown to me power was lost to the remote garage, assuming it was sometime before Xmas (I last used the car in Oct)
4. I came to start the car, totally dead
5. I've tried a booster pack via the fuse box connector to pop the bootlid solenoid to access the battery
6. Even after a wall charger hooked up after 2 days, the bootlid won't respond (using the key for 2 seconds as per every other solution post)
7. Recognising there is a cable pull under the wheel arch liner (is it driver's side on a RHD / C16 car?) how to get the wheel off given the locking nut is in the front boot / 'frunk'
Porsche Assistance (the AA) couldn't get their van across a field to the remote garage due it being boggy and I had to pull them out with my 4wd (I rescued the AA...). They tried with a booster pack but no good. So rather than wait for the field to dry out enough for the AA to come along again and scratch their head, am I missing something re: blown fuse that is stopping the battery from taking charge / etc. Also, can I simply turn the front wheels to access the arch liner enough to get to the bonnet release cable?
any solutions welcome
thanks in advance
