Hi guys, trying to solve an issue on a buddies 2001 turbo, the car had a dead battery, a float charger was placed for 3 months but is was still dead. Attempted boosting the car via another car and it would turn over slowly. Someone trying to “help” places a charger in a “boost start” mode on in conjunction with the cables already connected from the second vehicle.
at this point my buddy turned it over resulting in a rapid clicking followed by absolutely no power.

We we have tried a new battery, check all the fuses and checked the power distribution block at the fire wall for continuity and all check out.
But absolutely no power, no 4way flashers.... nothing.
He is concerned that the ECU is fried but we hoping there is a disable like somewhere that we have not found. 
Any ideas or help would be much appreciated
thanks

I had the exact same issue, took it in to the dealer, they couldn't figure it out and wanted me to replace the pcm. I also read every post I could find on the forums and in the end I bought a new battery and that fixed the problem.

Try harbor freight, I bought a set and it worked on my MAF sensor.

Does anyone know how to fix this error or what went wrong. No sound coming from the speakers when fm is selected or cd (nav screen shows the error message). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Bought the black set on eBay on the 21st. I will be putting them on this weekend and decided against the color option for the same reasons you listed. Thank you for coming up with a simple fix for our lights. Very quick delivery by the way...

Just ordered, 7 left I think ...

Sounds like a great deal; especially for those of us that have broken tabs. Can you put me down for a set is seal gray if possible. Please let me know and I can PayPal the funds to you or purchase them on your web site. Thank you again for replying back so quickly.

Thanks,

Saadi

Thank you, I'll call them and get it ordered.

Can any members chime in and help me source a resistor that would work for my application, any help or advise would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Saadi

Sorry about the double post, won't happen again. I checked from my pc and it took me to the correct page. The resistor i was referring to was on a c4/turbo which looks a bit different and is mounted to the fan housing.

Thanks again,

Saadi

Maybe I should try it on my pc rather than the app.

Link needs to be updated, takes you to a post about 3 center dash strip replacement.

Hi Loren,

The link took me to a post talking about 3 center dash strip removal. Don't know if the link is correct or I'm doing something wrong?

How do we go about purchasing a set of these light savers?

Hi Spender,

I read your post about replacing the ballast resistor on your C4s and I wanted to ask you how you went about replacing it. I have an 02 996tt and the driver side fan only comes on high speed when I put the AC on and the passenger side doesn't work at all. I just purchased the new fan motor with the ballast resistor but don't know where to buy just the resistor or how to go about replacing it. Any advise would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks,

Saadi

Is it too late to sign up? I am in the process of getting them replaced, welded and pinned for occasional track days.

They are made by a company called jack point

I use these jack point jack stands especially made for Porsches.
