Hi Guys,

About 2 month ago I broke my right foot. So no driving. About 2 weeks I just turned on my car, and let it idle for a bit. Then 3 days ago, ( my foot is better now) I went for a little drive around the block. This morning I tried to turn on my car, however and the ABS fault light came on, PASM light came, but car won't even start. The interior light are on with the door being open, however seem dimmer than before. If I turn on my headlights, the lights inside the car and the radio turn off, also the window just rolls down? When i roll the window back up, it goes up very slowly?? Could this be a battery that's almost dead? When I called the dealership, my tech told me its the battery that's drained, and those warning messages are due to the almost dead battery. I'm having Porsche Roadside come to my house in 2 days to check it and possibly jump start my car or possibly tow it to dealer.
Anyone ever experienced this?

Thanks for the help!

 

yes, sounds like the battery. You could always get a plug in charger for $25 and try charging the battery via the cigarette lighter... When my car was delivered (after sitting unused for nearly a year on the dealer's lot), I had the entire control panel flicker when the key was turned in the ignition, and the delivery tech just said "you need a jump." The charger worked better than the jump...

 

Battery .. I would hope it starts tomorrow and replace it.

 

if you have another car - just go to autozone, get new battery for $150 and be done with it.

 

^agreed. The hell I'd go through all the trouble with the dealer, towing, etc. when I could just replace the battery and go for a drive .

When I purchased my current car (06 C2S cab) in January, it was delivered with an almost dead battery after sitting at the Dealership for a few months. I put my charger on it (not a trickle charger thru the cigarette lighter) and was able to restore it. I still use a trickle charger to keep it in good condition, as I make relatively short drives normally.
Once replaced or recharged, your PASM fault should clear on its own.

 

Great thanks for the input guys!
