A day in the life of a noob I’m the type of guy who changes the batteries in a remote and it never works again. Then I bought a 1989 928 ROW. Being mechanical, I thought I’d start with some easy things like how to disconnect the battery without electrocuting myself. Disconnect the negative poll and wrap it in a towel to prevent accidental contact with the chassis. Pro tip; connect a marine battery disconnect switch so you don’t have to wrench a disconnect. Just flick the button. The problem with being a noob are the terms and steps involved in solving a problem. You may be able to use a volt meter to check amperage on the flux capacitor as long as you removed the cam shaft first but I need to know how to open the trunk without setting off the alarm. My first 928 project was to diagnose and replace the red door jamb lights. Being a Euro, these tiny lights shone out into traffic on the narrow European streets alerting oncoming cars not to dare! I searched online and asked for help. Dismantle the door card one user recommended. Check the fuses said another. Buy a pair of forceps suggested Merlin.
