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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

3 day that I have owned this car and the computer display started to flicker off and on. Now is gone. Black screen where I should see my odometer, miles, etc. This is a 2002 Boxster 48K miles Did I accidently bump something or hit a wrong setting? Any and all help and thoughts greatly appreciated.

The bulb might be burned out. Cluster removal can be found on my web site.

POST 3Original post

These electrical problems are often caused by something as simple as a faulty connection or a poorly attached ground wire. If you look at Wayne Dempster's book (or online links at Pelican Parts) you can get a grasp of the situation in his project "OBC upgrade".
