As I noted before I'd not use a battery switch for this purpose - best bet: debug and fix the parasitic drain - anything else is really just a band aid. On LH cars the ECU will be readapting after...

It is driven directly from the battery - it is one of the additional connections on the positive lug (disconnect, clean, tighten). It goes to the CE panel on CE pin: U12

So for what you asked to achieve you'd need the fog light relay output to also drive the rear markers (rear/side markers also for a USA car). For ROW that is all you need. These details are of course...

This fixture is wired incorrectly - so a poor example - the red and green wires should be at the end with a single connection - swap with the Brown/White & White wires.

It is just a random replacement wire connected in place of the stock wiring (presumably there was a reason...). The rear hatch switch directly switches the brown/white (or white) wires to ground to...

The wire with the Blue, Brown & Yellow/Green is not a Porsche wire - someone added that (standard European 220V power cable colors). So you are not the first in there... stock color in the roof would...

Battery outgassing (acidic fumes) corrodes the strap - thats why a sheath and sealing the sheath to the battery lug (which Porsche does not do) is so important. You should also vent the battery...

I would not buy a used Porsche cable in this application - they deteriorate with age and can become intermittent before total failure. An aftermarket (slightly longer) cable with a heat shrink sheath...

I’d suggest you replace the battery ground strap. Cleaning may not be sufficient. If the battery is not new - replace it too - it may have developed a higher internal resistance that will affect...

I'm not sure the late oil cooler is that effective - except at speed - overall a poor solution. In Phoenix it's a total disaster - idling in summer traffic after a high speed run the oil temp just...
