You can bypass the clutch pedal switch by using a fuse
@JustAnotherAlchemist Жыл бұрын
Do not assume that just because your battery reads 12.5-ish volts that it's good. I can tie two 9v batteries together into one 18V battery and it couldn't hope to turn any car over but would more than pass this test. Cranking amps matter too. In my experience, 99% of the time a battery has reached end of life, it will still take a charge and read north of 12V... it isn't until you *put a load on it* that it shows its health. Your average brick and mortar auto parts store has a proper automotive battery charger/tester with proper load testing that you can use for free.

Hi guys im Tony from the uk this is a very useful video i had this issue in my 2001 996 tiptronic cabriolet and it turned out to be my alarm ecu that had got wet from blocked roof drains that had flooded the rear passenger floor and soaked the ecu underneath the passenger seat a common issue apparently so i dried the carpets took out the ecu and found green corrosion so i cleaned the circuit board and plugs with wd40 took it in the house and put it on the radiator over night to try and dry it off the next day put it back on and the car started fine and drives as normal so far so good so give that try before spending a fortune on a new alarm and immobiliser ecu it mite save you a fortune i did notice that when i unlocked the car the door curtesy lights did not come on until the ecu was working correctly so that might be sign that your issue might be the ecu so check and see if your carpet is wet if so check your ecu it only seems to be on the cabriolets though as the roof drains get blocked and need cleaning they are behind the rear wheel arch cover and will be full of mud so clean them out regular if the ecu works put your ecu in zip lock plastic bag it will help keep the ecu dry and the issue returning a bit ugly but better than the cost of a new ecu as you will need to buy an ecu and key alarm fob and have to pay them to be reprogrammed in the uk costs around £450 for ecu £180 for key fob and around £100 for a Porsche engineer to program not sure about US prices hope this helps anyone

I had the entire exhaust system out and then put back in while doing the IMS bearing, also I forgot to mention new clutch and RMS. Passenger side is seeping a little fuel from the manifold, buy not from the gasket, from 2 of the pipes right where they join the mounting plate. Huh, weird right?

@@ArrowheadGarage hi I have the exact same problem you show in the video .... On a 99. 996 911 automatic transmission convertible..... I checked and tried everything you showed in the video... Even had a mechanic friend put a jumper wire in the starter relay.... The car finally started to crank the car finally cranked whth the jumper wire but no start.... I replace the relay with a new one and everything is still the same way no crank no....... My friend checked power to the switch which we have.... Power to the starter you hear the fuel pump kick on when you turn switch.... So all that seems good I know the starter is not jammed up cuz the the car did crank...... I don't know what else to look for any other ideas please help I've been stranded 5 days with out the car running ...... Does the immobilizer have a fuse or anyting under the driver seat that could maybe be changed ? Or any help would be appreciated thanks

@@johnsnow2650 yes there is a fuse under the seat… check that… do you have an extra key? If so try that… if not then the sounds like the immobilizer is fried :-(

Update today.... I got to the immobilizer under the driver seat and I checked the fuse in it. the fuse looked good BUY I replaced it anyways and the car still won't start BUT I noticed that the immobilizer was changed before there is a company name on there and writing that it was replaced or rebuilt in 2017... I'm trying to get ahold of those people on the number for info..ALSO I check fuses on the driver side kick panel... And the E1 fuse in the fifth column is popped ... I replaced it with another 7.5 and it popped again then I replaced it with a number 10 fuse and that also popped everytime I try to start the car or maybe every time I reconnect the battery plus I keep taking off the negative terminal before I replace the fuse...... So I guess something in the E1 fuse box is the problem ? Because the fuse keeps popping ?

Mikey Rozell pull your drivers seat and check the fuse (15) that is plugged into the immobilizer unit. Also see if the immobilizer shows ant signs of wetness. Let me know!

Hey Brian I did some research on it prior to getting it and I checked that it was corroded so I went ahead and replaced that well took the starter off today and went to take it apart and several pieces came out so starter is bad but when key is on I get no fuel pump and no power to starter the immobilizer I bought was said to work and I checked new immobilizer for water damages did seemed fine but still had no crank no start no ignition power to the starter and no fuel pump car was pretty much free

Get the starter replaced then try the starter relay hack. If she spins then your immobilizer sounds like the issue. :-(
