Just found this in the 101 boxster projects book If the ignition key is removed, accessories such as the trunk lamp, interior lamp, radio, etc will be switched off automatically after approximately two hours. If the car is locked, then these will switch off after 10 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menoporsche Posted January 2, 2021 Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 As I alluded above, I think it's different for different models. Or particularly/instead, whether the cig lighter works. I had understood mine works for ?30 mins unless something is plugged into it and then it works continuously. Trouble is, I have no operating lights on my solar panel so I have no idea. All I know is, battery seems to last for ages. I assume the panel is charging then. I'd got the impression it's not the same for the 986, or earlier 986.

Interestingly no mention of "10 mins load switch-off on lock" in my manual, even though the frunk light behaves that way. On my car the cig lighter stays live/"hot" if something is plugged in. In case it's ever useful re a comparison this is what my manual says re load switch-off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No mention of "10 mins load switch-off on lock" in my manual. On my car the cig lighter stays live if something is plugged in. This is what my manual says 987.2 just lift the door handle to wake if its gone to 7 day sleep. No need to do the key dance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the one time I've allowed mine to sleep that's how I did it - despite what the manual says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On facelift cars, the cig lighter socket is permanently live. Edit: No clever sensing on the 986 - it is all hard wired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
