  1. Thanks again, juniinc! I took a look at the fuse layout tonight, and there was none specifically assigned to the passenger-side visor mirror light. The driver's side visor lights still work fine. In this case, I don't think it's the fuse problem. I've read Loren's explanation on removing the visor and also took a look my visor mirror insert assembly. Still not sure how to get it out though, and since it's pretty dark already, I don't think I dare try to pry out anything right now without risking the chance of breaking something. I wish Loren posted some pictures along with his explanation. Bunch of pics in this thread: http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=1512
  2. Fault code 9114 PCM2 timeout (if control unit coded) Possible cause of fault - PCM2 in production mode. - Due to a faulty component, the PCM2 system has switched off or is faulty Does your PCM work? If not, then make sure everything is properly plugged in. If it does work it could be a fault that has since been corrected and the fault was not reset. In that case just clear the fault and see if it comes back.
  3. Try 6483 or 6381 Hi Loren, I tried both but it did not worked. I am able to obtained additional info; R3297 W 5011 804 Many thanks, Linh Lost Radio Code - FAQ, PLEASE READ THIS FIRST
  4. Model and year of car -- and wire colors please. Most likely someone might have had the airbag disable bar for the child seat.
  5. I'll have to leave this one to the Boxster folks... Perhaps a picture of the problem would help?
  6. 100 Time Units is one hour. So 1 TU is 0.6 minutes, or 36 seconds.

    Sat radio

    :lol: NAV-TV says that product has an MSRP of $899.00 and Suncoast is selling it for $899.95
  8. I don't think so. Removing the front bumper cover is a 15 minute job. It is covered in detail in both the 3rd Radiator DIY and the Gas Flap Lock DIY.
  9. hello every one now after have few places check out my car, one said engine is bad and one said transmission, now at the dealer and they say it is the oil separator for $3500 .. any one knows if that is a good price ?? A new AOS is under $200 - even at MSRP! I suggest you get another opinion.
  10. Yes, the two factory horns are behind the front bumper and behind the air duct on the right front of the car. I have a 3rd radiator so it it looks a little more crowded than it actually is in there.
  11. :welcome: Please do a search this has been covered many many many times...
  12. My homemade mount from metal strap. Using the existing bolt to mount the horn. Be sure to tape and tuck the wires up behind the bumper support and test before putting the bumper cover back on.
  13. Yes Not that I have seen so far. I've installed a couple of these (including my own car). I've got some pics somewhere... For me, they were easier to mount in the center behind the front bumper support. I'll look for my pics.
  14. :welcome: Have you asked them about a Porsche Exchange transmission (Porsche rebuilt)? I show an MSRP on those of only $8049.65 (with exchange).
  15. :welcome: Look at the first category Country Codes (all models)
  16. From what I can see it looks to be highly likely an RMS or IMS leak. Both should be checked - and if there is oil on the clutch disc you will need a new one of those too.

  19. Loran, Okay, I've looked all afternoon and besides what Joost has posted, I haven't found much on making the OBC work in my car. As Joost has said, "the toggle switch is simple" but I can't find anything about a DIY on putting the stalk and related connections on? I know I'm asking a question that has be asked (maybe many times) before, but I can't find the answer in the search area(there is everything from exhaust to headlights when I put "install OBC stalk" or "OBC switch", for example). I've looked in your DIY area and can't find anything either, so any help would be great. Thanks, again, for your time, C'ya, Did you look at the two links he posted?
  20. You will need to cut the original connectors and you will only need two of the four wires - so tape the other two well.
  21. Look at the thread (further down on that same page - I posted a pic with both the Cab and Coupe drains. The coupe are indeed behind the rear tires and behind the front tires.
