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.

I tired the search engine but not luck... Okay so the Dome Light, i know the Left and the Right Switches are Spot Lights... but what does the "Center Switch" do? Is it sopuse to turn all teh lights on? mine seems to do nothing...
There is a center light in addition to the left and right "map lights". The center switch is a 3-way switch. 1 - center light off, 2 - center light comes on when either door is open, and 3 - center light on. If your center switch doesn't do anything then your center light buld may be burnt out.
Open it up, pull the bulb out, and hit the auto store for a replacement. Really lights up the interior nicely, makes it easier to insert the key in the right place too!
Just go easy on the over-engineered fragile plastic!
Your sure there is a Center Light Bulb? Coz both my Side lights work fine... jus the Center Switch does nothing really...
Also what is that little button thing?, its like a Reset button for Handheld Divices...
The L.E.D.s, the little ambient lights in your car, it adjusts how bright they are. There's one each door handle and a couple near the dome light.
Only MY01 and up have them.
But the switch in the pin hole only adjusts the brightness ot two LED's 1) the LED on the driver's door handle (which illiminates the ingition switch) and 2) the LED on the front of the dome light (closest to the windshield) which illiminates the upper center console (horse shoe switches).
How many Porsche owners does it take to change a light bulb? Six, one to ask the questions and five to debate how to do it!
Zookie, Your center light is burned out. The 1st attachemet contains the instructions on how to operate the dome lights. The 2nd attachemet shows the instructions on how change a bulb in the dome light housing.
Rob - that is not correct, at least not in my car (2004).
My car has 3 separate lights. 1 reading light for the driver, 1 reading light for the passenger and a central "general" light. Each one of those lights is controlled by a separate the 3-way switch closest to each light (see the first attachment in my previous post). There is not one switch that operates all three lights in my 2004 Coupe.
Zookie -
your center dome light is BRUNED OUT!
That is why I posted the instructions on how to remove the dome light assembly and change the light bulb. Follow the instructions to change in
Interior Light
in the instrucrions below.
Hey all Canadians aren't that bad!!! Just because my family said they moved to Ontario and I ended up near Ontario California has nothing to do with it. Anyone can make that mistake.
Zookie, have you changed that bulb yet? Hell, if I had left my house when you initially started this thread, I could have driven to your house, (12 hours one way) changed the bulb and been back at my house two hours ago!
I don't know who Warren is or what a Warrenty is for, but I do know that the warranty usually doesn't cover wear items such as burned out bulbs although the dealer replaced mine for free as a courtesy.
