Save yourself the headache for next time, just buy a cheap mutlimeter or a test light and learn to use it.

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.

On my 2002 c4s the parking light on the actual headlight did not work, right side.
On my 2002 c4s the parking light on the actual headlight did not work, right side. So I pop out the head light and put in bulb from the left side to see if bulb. Doesn�t work. I then put the working bulb back on the left side. Now that is not working. H6wu is the bulb. headlights work (low and high), side markers work. Any suggestions?
i must say I do like the way the main electrical connector on the headlight unit just slides into connector on body. No prying stuff apart.

I have the same problem but the right side quit working, bought a new bulb,
no joy.. I am suspecting the connector becasue it quit when I changed the headlight low beam
Miracle, I bought two new bulbs yesterday ($22 wow) popped in and they both work. Maybe the good one that I swapped to the bad side got broken during the transfer.
I'll probably regret writing this but this car has been so easy to own. My 00 Boxster S that I had for almost 5 years was trouble free too. Hopefully this trend continues. Loving the water cooled thing.
I had a 77 911 Carrera 3.0 that always had issues. The 911 was about 23 years old when I got it. The Boxster was about 16 and the 996 17 years old so I am not talking much difference in age.
The strange thing was I sold the 911 to a guy in Miami. He flew up to MA in February, jumped in and drove home. Sold it to him for $9,500 so I assume he did okay.
Good job. Save yourself the headache for next time, just buy a cheap mutlimeter or a test light and learn to use it. This will take out any of the guessing when the electrons stop flowing.
Funny I have one and just don't know how to check things other than if the alternator is charging.
I have started reading a book again I bought ten years go when I had electrical gremlins with another car. Laying in bed, the wife says "didn't you start that book 10 years ago". I keep trying. I am a 1/3 of the way through and determined. I need to watch a good video on my how to use a multi meter too.
I do know Voltage = Amps X Resistance so I am at least trying.
