After having all the time PSM problems now finaly the car give up completely looks like.

Wanted to drive today. Not even doors are opening.

Manual open by key. First attemp to start. Nothing.

Playing a little bit with the key and car runs. But a little bit rough.

How is this possible? Yesterday no problems and today the car almost sleeps. No signs of life. Battery just 8 weeks old.

When i turn key the meter is showing arround 12 v.

When car runs i have 14.

I was thinking what the heck i did what could cause this breakdown of electric power. Nothing special.

Just i remember that i swichted off the center intereur light yesterday evening.

I know maybe you are tired about my random problems and my comments here but i am tired too.

Even my porsche mechanic is scratching his head because they dont know what to look for.

Thankx for any help.

I will replace the

You can pop the top cover off that ductwork with your fingernails.. it's not hard to do at all. Compress the duct sides a bit beneath the cover and pull the cover straight up. There are bunches of wires in the duct.. if you see any green fuzz you likely have found your problem. It's then a project of splicing the wiring to eliminate the bad junctions.

Sounds like a bad earth/earthing strap to me but I should hope your mechanic would have checked this?

They told me they check already all ground points. After i was in the shop to have this checked i could drive 2 weeks and 1500 km without problem. Now this problemnis coming back
