I have searched and the answer to this question has evaded me ... what causes this: when turning on the litronic headlights in a 996 the passenger light comes on for just a second and then goes off. The driverside turns on normally ... any clues ...

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.

Outcome without a verified action link
Ended up being some internal connection problems (my headlights both worked, but the turn signals didn't work or were sporadic).

Hey Luke - I posted with a similar prob. a couple weeks ago. Ended up being some internal connection problems (my headlights both worked, but the turn signals didn't work or were sporadic). FWIW it's fixed with a $125 invoice
So, you turn on the headlights, and the passenger overhead light comes on? Gremlins, man. Gremlins . Never heard of it before.
I figred it was just a connection problem and was planning on looking into it this weekend ... thought I would ask and see if anybody had a similar experience
Luke, the bulb could be going out and the ballast not being able to power it properly now. Another thing you can try is re-seating the headlight assembly.
