<HTML>Gary,
Maybe the battery is in the hatch? (for weight distribution)?
The battery in my wife's GTP is located under the washer fluid tank, which is underneath at strut tower brace, which means you have to take all that crap off the work on/remove it.
Check a Porschephile website...???
Good luck,

<HTML>You got it, Joe! But, check with a Porsche dealer first before you go pulling the rear seat out. I know on some MB's & BMW's, the batteries are located in the trunk, but there's a "jump connector box" under the hood where you connect jumper cables in order to start the car.
Also, if you're mobile, it's a good idea to carry a portable jump box with you for these situations. You can pick them up at Sam's or Costco for under $30.</HTML>

<HTML>Well, would you believe in the rear hatch, underneath the spare tire !!
I called a dealer and he told me that it was opposite the spare tire. I knew this wasn't right because I knew that the fuel tank was there. I looked underneath the vehicle an there was a retangular box there plain as day directly below the spare tire. Thanks to all for your help !!!</HTML>

<HTML>Alright Gary!
You found it! Have to remember that for the future. Do lots of rear-engine Porsches (where the battery's in the front). Haven't been luck enough to do a front-engine Porsche yet.
Like Rod said, the jump boxes are a great investment.
