I think if you lot apply some steering lock you should be able to remove the lower part of the cycle arch liner to gain access to the cable. Be careful though because it may be very stiff if it'southward not been used for 17-years.! Jeff 987.two Cayman Southward Northward Beds (R10 & R24) Quote Answer #4

Jeff Edit: Sorry, I call back yours is a 986 and confusingly the PET Illustration 803-00 shows the emergency cablevision on the RHS: https://www.porsche.com/uk/accessoriesandservice/classic/genuineparts/originalpartscatalogue/ However, that may be for a LHD car, then your guess is good every bit mine..! mail service edited by Motorhead - 2020/05/30 18:25:32 987.ii Cayman S N Beds (R10 & R24) Quote Reply #vi

My judge would be the RHS every bit in the PET (accept a good look through the Illustrations* to see if you tin can decide if they're for a LHD vehicle). I wouldn't call up that it would exist different for LHD and RHD ... but you never know! Jeff * I've at present looked more critically through the illustrations and it seems that they're for a LHD vehicle (e.g. Analogy 809-00 showing the dashboard and support construction). post edited by Motorhead - 2020/05/30 19:01:18 987.ii Cayman S N Beds (R10 & R24) Quote Reply #8

I had exactly the same event, couldn't find the release pull, got a jump lead and a battery charger onto the fuse pull out and notwithstanding non enough ability for the floor mounted bonnet release to work. I tried the key button release and it worked. Not sure why. Its a 987 so non sure if 986 keys accept the Frunk and Boot chapeau release on in that location every bit well as in the automobile.

I think you can assume the electrical circuit is broken if the bombardment is not at that place to connect the circuit. I did spend ages trying to discover the cable pull on the drivers side as detailed in all the online assist I could observe. Eventually found it in the near side / passenger front end bike well behind the bike curvation liner. Obviously its the drivers side for American and High german drivers. The bonnet was open up by that fourth dimension. Best of luck Dave Quote Reply #11

Thank you again for all your help, marking Quote Reply #fifteen
