Hi, i have 2000 986, 2.7L., 70k. After replacing the alternator all lights in my speedometer came on like:

Airbag

ABS

TC

Rear-Spioler

And both front turn signals are not working anymore, only in the back, but the blubs are o.k.

What can i do? How can i reset the control unit? Any suggestions?

Thanks

If you have done nothing wrong, disconnect the battery for 30 minutes and try again. When the result is the same, a visit to the dealer is recommended.

How old is your battery? If you just replaced your alternator, did it kill your battery at some point? If your battery won't reliably hold a charge, your dash could light up like a Christmas tree

check the wiring on your alternator

I have connected both wiring harness, as you can see on the attached picture, on the M8 screw thread. Was that correct?

I have measured the battery, 89% should be o.k.

2 red wires )same place and one black wire - pretty hard to get wrong.

Check your chassis grounds and your ignition switch.

O.k. Thanks Loren
