Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that contain suggestions: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suggestion
I would connect the car up to a Porsche specific scan tool (Durametric, PIWIS, PST II) and check the cluster.

You need to get one that matches the car, if you look in Porsche's parts catalog, there are a myriad of clusters available, each slightly different than the other depending upon the end use application.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi, I am am almost finished with a EV conversion of a 996 but I have one last problem to resolve to pass inspection. The Cluster needs to show the odomoter and speed and for now nothing works. couple lights on the cluster light up but not the lcd screens. (See screenshot below) We checked Term30 and 15 and we have 12v, Term31 is grounded. Does anyone have any suggestions? Is my cluster just busted? Thanks in advance, Jonathan

Do you still have the original DME in the car and connected?

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yes the DME is in the car and is still connected! Not 100% sure if it is on, but everything else seems to be working. If I buy a new Cluster, do I have to program it for it to turn ON? Shouldn't the LCD still go On even if not reprogrammed?

I would connect the car up to a Porsche specific scan tool (Durametric, PIWIS, PST II) and check the cluster. The cluster gets most of its data via the CAN bus from the DME.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for the answers, i'll probably buy the durametric to check. I am thinking also to buy a cluster. Would a cluster from an automatic work in my car (Manual)? not many manual from 99-2001 clusters for sale.

You need to get one that matches the car, if you look in Porsche's parts catalog, there are a myriad of clusters available, each slightly different than the other depending upon the end use application. Porsche would not make that many part numbers if they could just be swapped.
