Thanks, looks real good!

Looks great, can you educate me with some more details on what exactly this does, etc.? I have a 2003 as well with the MOST fiber so I'm very interested in how the modulator all works for you.

Bill, From what I have read I think your light may be coming on due to testing your switch without everything else hooked up. On mine I did not have the ignition switch in position 0. When my original piece failed it left my key stuck and I once I forced the key out I neglected to realign it before installing the new switch. So mine was not lined up correctly when I tightened the set screws.

Had trouble last week getting my key out of the ignition and noticed it no longer kicked back to on once started so I did a search and followed all of the advice in the DIYs. Got the new piece in and changed them out this morning but ran into a pretty big issue, when I reconnected my battery and went to start the car I got the Airbag error and all other lights on, but the key would not turn. I have since disconnected the battery and removed the new part but does anyone have any ideas what might be wrong here? Do I reinstall it again and hope I somehow messed up the first time? Any chance this airbag light wont come back? I ordered the part from Autohauz and it is the Meyle unit. Has any else experience similar? Okay, I took it out and reinstalled it and realized things were not lining up as necessary. Turned thrned the key back and forth a couple times and then reinstalled and all is well.

Boxster rear control arms (suspension noise)

Did you install the mount your self or was this done at a local shop? Haven't seen any other reports of this problem so just curious. -
Idiot Light!
spyder803 replied to Sauber_f1's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
Are there any other code readers that can reset an airbag light? -
May not be the case but I know I have been guilty of this before so just FYI. If you know you won't be using the car for a while don't periodically start it just to let it run for a couple of minutes and shut it off. Years ago I did this with a garage queen and it only made the battery die quicker as I was not running it long enough to let the alternator charge the battery up enough to replace the voltage needed to start it.

Thanks, I checked everywhere, it just isn't there.

Thanks again, I have one being ordered now and should get it within the next week and a half.
-
Thanks Loren. I have found the three digit number from the option tag is there a place where I can oder a replacement online?
-
I just realized that the previous owner did not leave me the lug bolt key that I will need in order to remove my wheels. Where can I get a replacement key and how do I verify that it is correct? I tried Sunset but they could not help me.

Dead Battery from Winter Storage
spyder803 replied to bonou2's topic in 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)
Battery charger that utilizes the cigarette lighter, or the emergency release cable. It is behind the right front wheel well liner. You just need to reach in there and pull the cable. There are a bunch of posts covering the exact location and I believe pictures also that may help. -
New 18" Wheels - right rear tire touches body
spyder803 replied to azzar0's topic in 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)
Here is a video I saw a year or so ago illustrating the DIY fender roll. About 4 minutes in he shows you how to do it with a piece of pipe. -
Spyder: Just want to make sure that you are aware of the potential problem with flooding the central alarm unit if you don't insure that your drains are draining properly, in addition to making sure that you repair any tears or rips in the foam drain pan as you are in the process of doing. To make sure that you don't have some other debris clogging up your drains, pour 1 quart of water each one of the drains after you put a catch pan on the ground just to the inside and slightly forward of each rear wheel. If you collect a full quart, your drains are okay. If not, there is a thread here that covers the procedure. Regards, Maurice. Thanks Maurice. I did quite a bit of reading here before buying my Boxster so at the first sign of moisture I pulled my seat and inserted the immobilizer unit into a zip loc bag and used my compressor to blow out the drains. It rained some last night, not as hard as the night before, but there is no water in the car this morning. If it warms up some today I plan on cleaning and treating my top and expect that that process will verify if my leak has been fixed. Thanks
