Hi,
Its been a long time since I posted but I now need help. I have a 2009 Gen2 Cayman S 987.2. My battery went flat and the car was parked in the rain so I removed the battery and closed the front lid.
The battery was recovered and charged yet when I went to reinstall it the bonnet lid would not open using opener along drivers door sill.
So I connected the battery to the fuse box and the door frame but this would not open the bonnet catch. I am now told that without a battery in place this easy way of opening the bonnet lid does not work.
Seems I now need to dismantle the wheel arch, probably drivers side to find an emergency release wire under the headlight to release the catch, or and something needs to be jacked up. All sounds so simple!
Does anyone have a set of instructions, diagrams or anything that will help me.
Looking forward to any assistance to let me open the bonnet to put the battery back in!
Thanks
Martin
