indicator sound is very soft, light warning sound sounds very cracky,

[porsche356]

The story continues:

My indicator workt fine, but the sound is 'gone'. I do hear a very soft klik-klik but this could be the relais as well. If I open my door with the light on, the warning sound works, but it sounds like a badly tuned radio station (cracky noice). Same goes for my seatbelt warning sound and the passenger airbag off sound. It works but thesound is like a broken speaker. I want to check the wiring and check the speaker for dust, but where is it located?

If it is in the instument cluster, how can I remove this?

Thanks for the help,

Frank

FIXED!!

Quite easy, just took out the instrument cluster (15 minute job, very easy). Then removed the back from the cluster (white part). There is a small speaker attached to the white rear. Mine was broken. Just bought a replacement speaker at some elektro shop (3$). Put it in and it works great. All the sounds are back and even more clear than ever before. Took me a total of less then 50 minutes, and..... much cheaper than replacing the cluster.

A much better solution than spending about $2,000 on a new instrument cluster and labor at the dealer. Now I need to figure out how to take out the cluster. Must be a link in the DIY forum.

use the search on the side. There is a great DIY on the site. If you can't find it let me know, I'll send you the link (replacement turbo cluster).

Good luck, frank
