2002 996 Turbo

I have been stumped by this one. My 2002 turbo xenon headlights don't come on but all other light functions are good. When I flash the high beams they come on. The other night I flashed my high beams and the xenons came on for a minute and went out again. Any thoughts?

Check the light switch.

How do you check it? Remove and replace?

I'm having the same problem with my 01 tt. What was the problem? I've tried to look it up with no luck.

Thanks, David

If they both do not work and you have checked the fuses (they are fused individually) then you likely need a new headlight switch.

I had the same problem last week with all functions working except the Xenon headlights and took it to the dealer who replaced the rotary switch under warranty.

Mine was intermittent and then went altogether.

I had the same problem on my Boxster (02) and ordered a replacement switch from Pelican for about $120. I found the DIY instructions on this site, replaced the part yesterday in about 20 minutes and everything works perfectly. Problem solved.
