    Check the side ground for contact, the OEM lighter plug in these cars are DIN standard size, a lot of lighter plug in adaptors are not and only make loose contact.

    Check the compressor plug, it is not making full contact when inserted into the lighter socket, or it has blown its internal fuse.

    Welcome to RennTech :welcome: Be extremely careful with aftermarket bulbs in these headlights. Many of them run much hotter than the factory bulbs and end up melting the lenses: If you want better, and much brighter headlights, look around for someone selling the Litronic HID factory lights for either the 996 or early (986) Boxsters (they are all the same). These are way brighter, but actually run cooler than the halogens.

    Should be R3:

    Welcome to RennTech :welcome: When asking questions like this, it is always good to include the year and model and they are not always the same.

    +1. Common mistake.

    Normally, when the switch goes bad, strange electrical things start to occur. Lights won't turn off or turn off unexpectedly; other accessories (radio, dash displays, etc.) do not function properly, etc. Commonly referred to as 'electrical gremlins'.

    Welcome to RennTech :welcome: Possible bad electrical section of the ignition switch.

    There is an obvious communications issue when they try to set up the control module. Unfortunately, it is nearly impossible to even hazard a guess as to what is wrong without further diagnostics, which means an open ended search for the fault.

    Duplicate posting deleted by moderator. Please re read the forum rules you agreed to when joining concerning multiple thread posts on the same subject.

    Actually, it may not. Wet belt slippage is a common complaint on these cars, even with brand new belts.

    Should be battery voltage.

    As your central locking unit seems to be responding (beeping and not locking), there is probably nothing wrong with it. As for the missing parts, those you are going to need to be sourced. It sounds more like you have a bad lock mechanism, which will have to be replaced (be sure to check both doors).
  17. JFP in PA
    That totally depends upon the integrity of the rest of the muffler; if it is otherwise in good shape, it should hold for a long time.
  18. JFP in PA
    That should not be left as is, both because in many states, you would fail inspection for that, plus it is leaking CO under the car, which can be dangerous, particularly in the winter. Depending upon how solid the surrounding metal is, it could be welded.
  19. JFP in PA
    That's it.

    We no longer have the pipe coupler, but it is a common white CPVC pipe coupler found at Lowes or Home Depot. Just be sure it has the internal shoulder than the pipes would normally butt up against. The shoulder is important because that is what the flywheel bolts rest on while inserting the seal.

    Your convertible top is not in the expected position. Could be sensing micro switch, or the top is not set properly and needs to be recalibrated.
  22. JFP in PA
    Sounds like you may have a clutch fork pivot issue.

    hi hope you can read my question. i changed the transmission oil i got 4 liters out and i put 4 liters in. but the owner told me they just replace the tranny oil couple of months so i did not change the transmission filter. and put the 4liters of oil. after this the engine lights on and P( parking ) and D4 start blinking. i can still drive but it drives me crazy and scared. pls tell me what to do before i take it to the shop and charge me arm and leg Welcome to RennTech :welcome: Get the car scanned with a Porsche specific scan tool, looking for transmission codes.

    Now that we have gotten past that one, check your bulbs on the side blinking fast to be sure they are illuminating properly (could be a bad bulb), otherwise I would look at the turn signal flasher module, it may be going south.
