03 boxster computer problems

How many computers under driver seat in a porsche 03 boxster S. My cluster lights are always on and draining my battery and the gauges not working, also the top is not opening, looks like the switch is not working, neither the heating or air conditioner. I have two computers under the driver seat, one looks like somebody was working on(I bought the car knowing that was a electrical problem, with dash not working), could somebody tell me the name of those computers or the numbers, please? any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

I found the part, is for the memory of the driver`s seat, so could be this part of my electrical problem, I replaced the electrical part of the ignition switch and the problem still the same, what else could I look for this problem? Any idea, please? Thanks

What you are describing coincides with an ignition switch failure....
After you start the car turn the key slightly counter clock wise and see if the a/c stays to work, sometimes when the switches fail it won't return to the ign 2 position which is what powers everything you describe. ...
Under the drivers seat mounted to the floor is the alarm module, which droves the roof/Windows, they are prone to water damage from clogged water drains, be aware of you pull the seat and turn the key on you'll need to reset the airbag light.

Hi, Bell
Somebody said that is also for the driver`s seat memory and the car has the bottoms between the trunk and hood bottoms on the driver`s door. I will check on that, because I did not see that on the car, I bought the car recently and it looks like the former owner was working on that part, because was disconnected. Right now is very cold to work outside plus I am not a mechanic, I just learning from reading, so I just following everybody advice. I appreciated a lot your help. I will check and let you know how things going. Thanks
