pull hood release latch, located on the driver side left foot
Pull the hood release handle inside the vehicle.
Open the door and pull the hood release.
under the front hood, under a battery cover just beyond the spare tire.
The hood should still open when the battery is dead
pull out the red tagged post in the fuse box at drivers left foot. use jumper cables to temporarily supply car with power, open hood and access battery :)
To charge the battery on a Porsche Cayenne S you need to open the hood and on the driver's side open the tallest panel and put the cables on the two points.
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.
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.
it is not a power hood release, so it will operate with a dead battery, then it has a safety release behind the grille. no power needed. goodluck
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.
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
there is usually a set of connections in the fuse box. My 911 has a little plug that pulls out and you connect a 12V back up battery to unlock the hood. Use a spare battery or a vehicle battery (with engine off).
