I started to pull my 968 out of the garage this morning, and all she will do is turn over. Doesn't attemp to start up. Is there anything I can check before I have her towed? Is there a relay that can cause this? <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/mad.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />

yep, dme relay - most of us keep a spare in our glove box. It's in the fuse/relay box in the engine area.



You might want to get one and replace it before having it towed...

<img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/biggrin.gif" class="smilie" alt="" /> Guess what! I bought one several years ago and put it in my glove compartment because of a tip I got from one the fellow owners on one of these sites. I just changed the relay, and she fired right up! Thanks!

This site and the other one that crashed and burned have been very helpful to me ever since I bought my 968. There is a lot of knowledge out there and I appreciate everyone sharing.

I love my 968 for what it is & don't hate it for what it isn't!
