How do you get the hood open on a 2001 boxter with a dead battery?

One of two ways....either use a cigarette lighter car charger to give the car enough power to be able to use the switch or there is a red bar that can be hooked up to by another battery which will give you enough juice to use the switch located on the rocker panel by the drivers seat for the hood and truck release.
If you change out the battery make sure to keep the car powered from a secondary source. If you remove the battery without any power to the car you will lose the radio lock code and will have to take it to a Porsche dealership. There they will have to remove the battery (usually they charge for it) then send to SKU number from the radio to Porsche German Headquarters, who then emails the the code to the dealer (some dealers try to charge for that too but it is acutally free...only Ferrari and Maserati charge $50 for the radio code fee)

How do you open hood on 2001 Porsche Boxster with dead battery and faulty hood release?
On the 2002 boxter in the fuse panel at drivers left foot, there is a red tagged thing...pull it out and hook jumper cables to it. This will give your car the power it needs to pop the hood. so that you can get to battery. the other option is there is supposed to be a catch wire near the headlight that you can catch with a hook and pull, this should pop hood.

Open the door and pull the hood release. You actually have to send power from donor battery to E3 fuse. Once you hear the alarm beep hit unlock button on key fob. Remember to ground body of car with neg term on donor batt.

How do you open the hood of a 2004 Toyota Sienna when the battery is dead?
The hood is not controlled by any electrical device, and the battery being dead has nothing to do with opening the hood. Pull the hood latch. Can't find it then read your owner's manual.

How do you get the front hood on a Porsche 996 open when the battery is dead?
I had the same problem with my Boxter when the battery went dead. I called the Porsche dealer and he offered me a suggestion that worked great, Go to a auto part store and buy a small battery that plugs into your cigarette lighter for the purpose of starting cars when batteries are dead. Leave it plugged in for about 20 minutes and it gives you enough charge to open your hood latch. Make sure your door is open when you go to pop the latch, as I was sitting in my car with the door closed and trying to figure out why it wasnt working. Now I always keep one charged in my glove box. Good luck! Sue
