Problem overview

Some Porsche 911 owners report experiencing starting issues despite having a new battery, often due to underlying electrical problems. These issues may include a faulty alternator, which can prevent the battery from receiving a charge while driving, leading to a drained battery. Additionally, problems with the starter motor can also hinder the vehicle from starting, even with a new battery installed. Corrosion on the battery terminals may block current flow, giving the impression that the battery is dead. Furthermore, a sticking or bad solenoid might prevent the starter from engaging, as indicated by the absence of a click sound. To effectively diagnose and resolve these issues, it is advisable for owners to check these components and systems.
