Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Any clues on this one anybody. Dipped Headlights only work intermittently. I can "Flash" High Beam but not click it on. Which to me implies some sort of control problem as clearly the lights work and are getting power, but not when I try to click the beam on. Front fogs work fine, as do sidelights. Bad time of year for no headlamps so any suggestions appreciated .
Hi Tony, I had a similar problem on my 2003 996 4S, I thought it was a relay issue but took it to my local Cambridge OPC and they found it to be a fualty light switch. Switch replaced and problem solved. Hope this helps. Regards,
As Steve says, the light switch is the common cause of this problem. There is a DIY in the Member's Only Technical Articles section of this forum, but if you would like a copy, drop me an email and I'll attach it to a reply.
Hi Steve thanks for that, do you mean the actual stalk switch on the steering column ?
Hi Tony, The light switch I refer to is the rotary light switch on the dash. Regards
Thanks for advice Turns out it was indeed the rotary light switch on the dash.
