WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2004 Porsche Boxster, 2003 Porsche Boxster, 2002 Porsche Boxster, 2001 Porsche Boxster, and 2000 Porsche Boxster. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
- Control relay pulled off. Terminal designation on the relay carrier is from the bottom side of the control relay. See Figure .
- Connect measuring instrument (voltmeter) to terminal 22 (ground) and terminal 23 (positive 30) on the carrier plate. Display = battery voltage
- Connect measuring instrument to terminal 22 (ground) and terminal 26. Switch on ignition. Display = battery voltage
- Connect measuring instrument to terminal 23 (positive) and terminal 15 (parking brake engaged). Display = battery voltage
- Connect measuring instrument to terminal 23 and terminal 16 ("close convertible top" button). Press "close" button. Display = battery voltage
- Connect measuring instrument to terminal 23 and terminal 17 ("open convertible top" button). Press "open" button. Display = battery voltage
- Convertible top locked. Connect measuring instrument to terminal 23 and terminal 14 (cowl panel frame micro-switch). Display = battery voltage
- Convertible top locked. Connect measuring instrument to terminal 23 and terminal 29 (B-pillar micro-switch). Display = battery voltage
- Convertible top unlocked. Connect measuring instrument to terminal 23 and terminal 13 (micro-switch closed, convertible top compartment lid CTCL open). Display = battery voltage
- Convertible top unlocked. Connect measuring instrument to terminal 23 and terminal 19 (cowl panel frame micro-switch). Display = battery voltage
Plug control relay onto relay carrier. Open convertible top compartment lid and pull off electrical plug connection on the convertible top drive motor.
- Connect positive lead of measuring instrument to terminal 1 (black wire) and negative lead of measuring instrument to terminal 4 (green wire). Use an auxiliary lead to jumper terminal 2 and terminal 3 at the plug connection. Switch on ignition and press "Open" button. Display = battery voltage
- Connect positive lead of measuring instrument to terminal 4 (green wire) and negative lead of measuring instrument to terminal 1 (black wire). Use an auxiliary lead to jumper terminal 2 and terminal 3. Switch on ignition and press "Close" button. Display = battery voltage
