These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

7 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1Original post

I have a 2006 Boxster S and the center digital display in the instrument cluster is washed out/unreadable. Does anyone know where I can get a digital display? I see them online for the 986 but not for the 987? Also instructions on how to remove the instrument cluster?

POST 2Original post

I've got the same problem with my Cayman S . I've been looking for the part too and found some useful articles https://www.renntech.org/tutorials/article/102-987-instrument-gauge-removal/ Removing Dash in Cayman I have to remove the dash board to get faulty aig bag out, is there any instruction posted anywhere? I have located alot of the screws that allow removal but there are alot more that i can see. Does anyone know if theres a guide or something like this? Cheers www.planet-9.com This article looks the most useful until the articles section on here have 'K-Man S's cluster removal back. https://********.com/forums/997-forum/454459-removing-the-instrument-cluster-diy-4.html For the parts, these look correct.

POST 3Original post

lexnat187 Thank you for the information. I found an instrument cluster on EBay from a place in New Mexico. It was $225. I installed the new (used) one. Works as it should. I would like to repair the original one and reinstall it. I will let you know how it goes.

POST 4Original post

Did you have any issues installing the replacement cluster? Was the mileage the same with the new one?

POST 5Original post

lexnat187 Yes, I am showing a PSM fault on the new gauge. I temporarily reinstalled the old gauge and the PSM fault shows on that one as well. My research indicates that that should go away after I drive the car 10 miles or so. We have snow here in Michigan, so it may be a while before I can road test it. The mileage on the new (used) gauge is 31K more than the original.

POST 7Original post

I have not driven the car. Michigan winters are hit and miss. May have to wait until spring to take it out.
