I have no remote. I have one key the I use for ignition as well as locking and unlocking doors. I am still having problems understanding why the car will start if I disconnect the battery for 5 to 10 seconds and then reconnect it. The car will start one time only. I can repeat the procedure and get the same results.. If the Immobilizer was bad, I do not think it would start at all. I believby Moore2806 - Main Forum

Received my new relays today. I also got my Bentley manual for the Boxster. Tried the relay with no changes in results. Referred to the trouble shooting section of the manual. According to the tests I ran, the DME relay is not getting a signal from the ECM. Do not know where to go from here. It will be 2 weeks before the Porsche dealership can work me in.

Thanks for the comments. I have order several new relays to try. I think that both the DME relay And the starter relay are the same. If that fails, I will have to take it to the dealer.by Moore2806 - Main Forum

I can repeat the previous procedure and get the same results. I am totally stumped.by Moore2806 - Main Forum

Sorry, I forgot to say that I replaced the negative cable when I replaced the battery. Old cable looked okay, but I was trying to cover all bases. I am going to replace the chassis to engine strap next. Any others thoughts?by Moore2806 - Main Forum
Battery died and was old, so I replaced the battery battery post and terminals were cleaned. Car will not crank. Read posts that it was probably the ignition switch, so I replaced the switch. Reinstalled the negative battery cable and tried to start the car. The car started immediately. Tried to restart and nothing. Disconnected the battery again and checked the cable.
