Trouble unlocking hood and trunk

I don't know what kind of 1999 carerra you are talking about; I have a 1999 carrera convertible, and both the front and engine hoods are opened when pulling on the appropriate lever next to the drivers seat. No fuse/solenoid involved.

Behind the passenger side wheel covers, up towards the front bumper, is a stainless steel braided cable with a loop. Pull this to manually open the trunk. It is well hidden and an emergency solution to opening the trunk if the servo has failed, your fuse box power connection fails, or you have no power. Good luck

I found a website that finds a way to jump the car without having battery access. It is actually fairly simple. Follow these instruction: http://perryandcoblog.com/2009/11/17/porsche-carrera-911-996-dead-battery-locked-hood-solution/ Hope this helps! Please rate 4 thumbs up!

Under the left side of the instrument panel there is a fuse box. In this fuse box there is a red pullout sleeve. if you apply a booster pack to this sleeve you can now use the pwer unlock button for the trunk area where the battery is. Hope this helps

Assuming the car battery is ok (if not, buy a male to male cigarette lighter at the auto store and connect to another car until charged enough to unlock the doors...but don't try to crank the ignition!). The trunks won't open if the battery went dead with the alarm set because arming the alarm physically locks the releases.

Sounds like the key code is switched off because you replaced the key fob battery. Try unlocking the car manual with the key in the door lock. Then switch the ignition on to reactive the keyless entry. If this does not work, you might also try pressing the fob unlock button with the key in the door lock until the dash led flashes.

I think it is electric right? But the battery is dead right? and the battery is in the ft trunk. lol I think there is a lever on the pass side kick pannel kind of where a hood release lever would be on the pass side

Why dont you call loc smith to unloc the doors
You could take flat screw driver to try push the latch side ways where it latches

need 2 people 1 bounces *** on hood carfully while other gently uses hood latch

The cheapest way to get around this and get enough voltage into the system to open the hood is to purchase a cigarette lighter extension (about 3 feet) and cut off the female plug on the end. Strip the 2 wires back a few inches and attach one to the positive and the other to the negative on a set of jumper cables. Attach the other end of the negative jumper to a battery. With the keyless entry in hand, touch the positive cable to the positive terminal on the battery and press the unlock button until you hear the car doors click. Once it clicks, you should be able to use the hood latch to gain access to the battery.
