One thing to note with the interior lights as no "position" noted on the switches. Middle is off of course, BUT there is 2 "ON" positions for the lights. One "on" position is permanently on. The other "on" position is for the "door open" lighting. When all doors and rear hatch are closed there is a timer circuit that keeps the interior lights on for 1 minute after you leave the car, then the circuit switches off. The problem is if just 1 switch (doors, middle front, centre roof or rear hatch) are switched to permanently "on", then that interior light stays on, the timer circuit is not engaged for that light, and your car battery will be drained flat. It took me years (yes years!!) to work this out. I had all my lights set to "off" because I thought there was an electric fault preventing the lights from turning off. I then worked out which position to set all 5 interior lights so that they were all set on the timer circuit.
@@928porsche The crank is a separate piece that supposedly comes with the tool kit (although I don't see room for it in my tool kit; I leave it in the glove box). There is a small screw on one end, hopefully you can find one like it. I don't thinks there's a way for me to send a pic of it or I would. Here are the instructions from the owner's manual: Manual operation If the electric drive mechanism fails, the roof can be operated manually. The crank handle provided for this purpose is in the tool kit. Remove the cover from the electric drive mechanism at the rear of the headliner by pulling it down and disengaging the spring catch. Remove screw and washer on bottom of drive mechanism. Keep screw and washer within easy reach. Install handle in slot of drive mechanism and tighten thumb screw. Close the roof, remove the handle and reinstall washer and screw. Replace the cover. Do not depress the rocker switch but let your Porsche dealer correct the fault.

I am picking one up Tuesday....
The sunroof debacle reminded me of Adam and Eve. Lol
Change all of the fuses. Every single one of them!
Note there's a hand crank (you may not have it with your car) to open/close the sun roof in case the motor fails.
Where is the crank located? Thanks!

Fellow 928 owner. Sensors / relays / spark plugs of course. But also mass air flow sensor and 02 sensor. Nice surroundings, is this in Florida?
