| Front Hood release Timbo - 4 years ago |
Hello, recently the battery in my 01 Boxster went dead - before changing it, I read that if I plugged a trickle charger into the lighter - I could remove the battery without having issues with any of the cars electrical system/defaults. I changed the battery, everything seems to be fine.
Since doing this, I began having trouble with the (front) hood release - it works some times but not always and never twice in a row. Is it just a coincidence that the truck release problem started immediately after I changed the battery or is it more likely that the that there is a problem with the release mechanism.
Any thoughts?

Although I generally don't believe much in coincidences, this time I'll say that it is.
You need to check if the problem is in the switch by the driver's seat, with the solenoid on the latch or with the wiring in between.
Happy Boxstering,
