Instrument Panel Lights

[Vek]

Hello,

I am the proud new owner of a 2000 Speed Yellow Boxster S. Today while driving the light for the clock and oil level guage went out. The LED panel works - but you cannot read it unless the sun is hitting it just right.

I could not find a DIY instruction to fix this problem. Has anyone else had this issue? Is this something that is easy to fix or does it require a trip to the dealer?

TIA,

Vek

Each of the 3 LCD displays has a bulb. You need to remove the cluster to replace the bulb.

You might give it a wack first to see it it comes back on.

it's probably just a lightbulb, but to change it you need to remove the cluster, looking at the bentley manual it appears to be pretty easy

there's a torx head behind the hazard light switch, another on the opposite side, then you pull the thing forward, disconnect the connectors, and slide it out

then you undo two screws that hold the cluster into the dash part, undo the metal brackets that hold the cluster together and there you are with all the bulbs

I think they're EBS-P/4-A 1.5w's

edit: and I'm too slow

Thank you for the help. I checked the link and was able to find instructions. There really is a lot of knowledge on this board.

I am off to the local dealer to buy a bulb in the morning.

Thanks again
