alank Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 Hi can anyone point me in the direction of any threads about fitting a new battery. I hear about putting ign sw in position 2, and keeping power on the car whilst changing. I just want to know the correct way to do it. Its a 2003 S, so the radio will not need a code. I was just a bit concerned about things like windows need resseting, etc. Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxstercol Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 Might be different on a 987 but here's what I did recently on mine... - ignition to 1, this prevents alarm from going off when battery disconnected - disconnect old battery & swap for new one - job done! - windows - I just wound down & up a couple of times so that they remembered positions - my stereo didn't need a code, think the later cars match to ecu or something - if you have some options, its possible that after battery change they may get 'forgotten' - things like heated seats / cruise control may need recoding by someone that has the appropriate software. Initially my cruise & heated seats didn't work but then everything went back to normal after 15 minutes driving - you may find that you get some error messages relating to psm etc - these will go after a two minute drive Hope this helps.

alank Posted October 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2017 Just changed my battery to a Varta 110. As you said Boxstercol, Ign to 1st position, and just had to reset Drivers window, Spins over much faster now on start up. Thanks Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
