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.

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.

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

POST 1Original post

I was about to spend the $110 to buy the schematics for the electrical system, as I am modifying the output for the alarm, only to find NOTHING! I've searched here, and see that Suneet has mentioned having some of the diagrams, and have seen the PorscheLibrarian posts, but was hoping to get the info from Porsche itself. Guess not. Is it true that the US gov't requires technical info be provided on vehicles and if so, what recourse do we have to get the info we need for our cars? Anyway, if anyone can give me insight on this it would be a great help. All I really need right now is the portion of the schematic that covers the alarm/locking circuit with it's outputs to the lights. Thanks in advance.

POST 2Original post

The service manuals for late-model Porsches are only available in electronic format. You can get the manuals from Porsche, but they are very expensive (last time I looked, it was like $130 per chapter). If you talk to your salesman or service manager, they might be able to get you what you need for less. Or, you can PM porschelibrarian.

POST 3Original post

I actually checked the Porsche site, and only the parts .pdf's are there. No manuals, no schematics. I know they used to be there, maybe there's a link I'm missing?

POST 4Original post

Porsche has removed the manuals ( all manuals ) from the Porsche tech website. They are making the manuals available only thru the PIWIS. PIWIS is the Porsche OBDII/Diagnostic scanner that sellls for about $20,000 and requires a $11,000 annual license fee. While the US requires car makers to make the manuals available they don't say at what price, or they don't even require the non specific "resonably priced" term.

POST 5Original post

Do you have the schematics for a 2007 Cayman (non-S, "sound package plus")? If so, how can I get access to them? I want to change the passenger (right) footwell power outlet from a non-switched (always on) to a swtiched (on only when ignition is on) outlet. It's been suggested here that I ADD an outlet, but I really don't want to do that - I just want to convert that outlet to being switched. I need thw wiring harness schematic to do that. Thanks!!
