As it turns out, it was the engine to chassis ground behind the passenger rear tire. Funny when I restored
356's and my 914, the bare copper transmission to chassis ground was the first thing I changed out when sorting out the electrics. The bare copper grounds built up resistance and then things went off.

The 997 gave me a battery generator warning light so I chased that first. When it would not clear I went after the grounds. Sure enough that fixed it. Even though they are sealed cables and connectors, the resistance build up was enough for the ecu to not be happy.

I need to stick to the cheap basics first. Lesson learned.
