  1. Ok, went back through everything, Checked all connections. Put the car back together, jerked on the steering wheel and shifter (aggressively) and the car awoke from its nap. I'm left to conclude the issue was the steering wheel or shifter lock. I was laying on the floor console for part of the work. All is well. Regards, Jay
  2. Last week I ordered a cup holder retrofit for my 1999 996. Excited to complete the install, I jumped on it this morning. Removed the lower and upper console to make the install and rerouting of climate control wires easier. I DISCONNECTED THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE PRIOR TO starting the repair. I buttoned up the work and went to start the car, ignition is locked (key won't turn, gear shifter (Tiptronic) won't move), light in the trunk is out. I only have radio. When I disconnect/reconnect the battery I hear the cd changer initiate and I can turn the radio on and off, it appears to work fine once I enter the security code. Guys, what in the world could I have done to kill the power to the car? Thanks in advance. Jay
  3. 996 Window regulator has me stumped!

  4. Loren, 4704 worked. Thank you. I had the "wait" display from entering the wrong code in a few times. Drove the car around (about and hour) until the radio reset, entered code, all good. I will man-up and contribute. Regards, Jay
  5. New user and Porsche owner. Bought a 1999 996 a few weeks ago. Disconnected battery to replace the steering gear (steering rack). When I powered up, the radio was locked. I cannot fin the code in the car anywhere. Model 4362 SER Y5024172 Thanks in advance for the help. Jay
