Bad ign. switch (common), battery cable or connectors, rodent chewed your wiring (it happens), blown fuse, bad alternator, bad starter. Process of elimination needed.

+1... durametric are built for Porsches,
The others are just to generic... plus, the airbag reset is a godsend if you like to do DIY's.

Wrong... already compared it to the generic readers. Those readers are only good to a certain extent in regards to Porsches. That is why I bought the duramteric.... did my research before. I have both and the durametric shows more codes when compared to my generic.
As for the airbag lights with the generic reader... forget it. Can't even read those.
bmoney..
Sounds like an alternator..

ignition
My guess is the ignition switch, which is also referred to as the ray gun. easy fix hour tops, if when it says nothing all the lights work and the horn blows it's the switch. good luck!
