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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Furthest? Most farest? Looks like a side-rear view of car, with an arrow pointing up from the top storage area. Never lights up on startup like all the rest. What does this light signify?

POST 2Original post

According to the Bentley manual, that would be the convertible top warning light.

No, it has an arrow pointing up from the top's storage area. I'll look when I'm at my shop later.

POST 5Original post

Different location on the 03 , but it looks like it's the retractable spoiler warning light

No, I don't think so...that one is on the left. This one, Tim? It's for the ejection seat

POST 7Original post

Apparently, it is not used in either US or Canadian models...maybe European?

I had you going in a totally different angle. Something like... Depending on which direction you are driving, it's the sun. On a serious note, I have never seen it either

POST 9Original post

That's the light that tells you your wind delflectors have just detached from the roll bar and are now lying in a ditch damaged beyond all possible repair.

POST 10Original post

It is your "ROLL-OVER PROTECTION WARNING LIGHT" Found at least on the 911 Carrera 4 (996) model....(European?)

POST 11Original post

I've got a ROW spec car and have never seen it on my dash lights or in the handbook. Of course, you could get that warning light after your IMS bearing goes pop......

as in the roll bar assembly has come unbolted?

POST 14Original post

Or maybe to give you warning that you might be rolling over soon!! But I do like the idea of the ejection seat light Particle..

POST 15Original post

I would guess it's for the roll over protection on the 911 cabriolet.

That's it!! Mine does not light up. Umm, no. Not it. All the way right. I'll count my lights later.

POST 17Original post

The one all the way to the right in my picture is for the convertible top, though yours may be ordered differently. The picture should represent gauge clusters from all 986's from 1997-2001, IIRC. What year is yours? Edit: derp...it's right there in your sig

Ok. Farthest right is cruise symbol. Then it is in fact the IMS ejection / you're upside down stupid, light. Small line in door and arrow pointing up.

POST 19 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My tree looks different than the one pictured. Just a lower row, CEL is in the long lower row. No lights up by the gauges in the corners.

POST 20Original post

Been following this thread and so I've just been out to have a look at my UK speck 2.7 2003 face lift 986 Boxster, and as you can see our dash board lights are slightly different to that one shown above. I hope this helps in some way as someone mentioned in an earlier post about European speck being different to your USA speck. Guvs.
