Top Microswitch part number

[Axle]

Hi,

I have been having issues with my top going up and down on my 1999 Boxster.

It finally died several weeks ago. I went through the troubleshooting guide found under "986 Boxster Top Issues and Solutions" (#13 Top Issues).

I had the same exact results as Cartel.

Following the trouble shooting guide (below), I failed at step 8 (convertible top unlock)

That would be the microswitch over the rear view mirror, however I cannot find a microswitch.

Does anyone know the part number for this switch?

Thanks,

Axle

You also need 2 round silver metal clips that secure the switch. You can see them just below the box the switch comes in. These clips are not included with the switch.

Thanks Tool Pants. I'll get on that today and let you know how it goes.

Thanks Toolpants,

I replaced the micro switch and it worked!

I was a little skeptical when I was putting it in, but there is that huge sense of satisfaction when you push the top down switch and it works.

The diagnositics from the sheet was straight foward and the replacement of the switch was a piece of cake.

The toughest part was getting the two clips on.

As an aside, I called the dealership and they wanted $99 plus tax for the switch.

I ordered on line and got it for $35 plus tax. It took two weeks to get all the pieces.

Once again thanks to everyone for the help.

Axle -

Do you happen to have the part number / description for the two small clips? Looks like I have a similar problem caused by this switch.

Thanks.
