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

Hello, I have a 2000 Boxster, base, 2.7L, that is not displaying the clock/oil gauge led. I was wondering if anyone can point me to a possible solution. I think I have already asked, but can't find my previous post. Any help would be appreciated. thank you,

POST 2Original post

I don't see any replies so, bit late but here's my two cents. these usually don't go wrong, most likely its the little bulb behind it that failed. you can check if the panel is still working by shining a light on it from the front (with ignition on). you should be able to see the clock or oil gauge working. changing the bulb it pretty easy, lots of info here, on youtube or google.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
