Check this thread. You might just have a brake switch failure.

If it’s not warranty work give Berk a call at German Car Specialists and see if he can help - not sure about hybrids but it would be worth a call to see and maybe he can get you in a lot quicker. You could also try Premier 1 off of 281 - haven’t used them but some friends have been happy with them.

i think i found the problem. the wires going to the invertor seemed shorted. 12v side.

Looks as though something’s been chewing on your car.
Do you have rodent issues in your area? I would be tempted to have Porsche look it over, rather than an independent because of the hybrid stuff. You could be a lot closer to an insurance claim than it seems at first glance if there’s other damage elsewhere.

i soldered new wires to both ends of the damaged wires heat shrinked and the car started right up! i guess a squierll or a mouse was the intruder

Oh no. I hate when critters chew my wires. I’ve had this on my Ford Truck a couple times.
