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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Airbag light came on and figure maybe it cold have been a connector or something from when I replaced the window regulator so i opened up the passenger door. something that was going to take 2 minutes has turned into a complete nightmare. the two connectors that go into the door handle broke off. while trying to fish the connectors out it was quite apparent someone was in here. ​​​​​ the connector broke in half and as you can see someone tried gluing it or something. anyone know where I can find these connectors? 20170618_165356_zpslpszqolk.jpg 20170618_165403_zpsboq9rbxh.jpg

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

i need the connectors that plugs into the microswitches, i thought digi-key may have carried them but i am having a hard time finding it, if you look at the pics on pelican for part # 996-613-123-00-OEM...i need to cut and solder new ends onto the wires that plug into that part (and the other micro switch)

POST 6Original post

I feel you on the "its always something" - AOS hose leaking - New tyres - Drivers side door light (wasn't in properly luckily) - Leaking coolant cover - Slave cylinder - Master cylinder That's just this year... Its ALWAYS something

POST 7Original post

Damn man, sorry Go the e30 "check light" route and put tape over the light? You might give ECS Tuning a call. When I built some custom harnesses for my 958, those guys rocked for running the connectors down for me so I didn't have to splice anything. Maybe they can help here.

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

tried all night last night to find these god damn parts. no luck.

POST 9Original post

Surely there is someone wrecking one that can help out? There is a C4 being wrecked in the for sale section. I'm so fearful if breaking connectors like that errr.

POST 15 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

yikes. just ordered the one off ebay.... $500-$700 it looks like for that harness

POST 16Original post

Yeah...Porsche tax...big time! I was thinking if you were going to splice one of the "connector, plug socket or cylindrical sockets" was what you needed rather than the whole deal.

POST 17Original post

The other day, my toddler busted out her plastic tools and started wrenching on her cozy coupe because her car wasn't feeling well. Gee, I wonder where she got that from.

If you want to feel better about the 996, try buying a 928.

No worries, cheap fix for $28! Much easier to replace the whole harness than cutting and splicing and making a mess! Once you've got the panel off 3/4 of the work is done.

And I got the codes scanned for the airbag, Passenger seat belt and power supply. Replace seat belt buckle? Also had 6 codes for security system, might be why my Duramteric wont connect to the car. But then again.....why would every other type of scanner work? I dotn really give a **** about the security codes, they dont produce idiot lights. lol

POST 22Original post

I understand how you feel with the constant repairs. This is the reason that I sold my 996; the repair bills kept getting bigger and more frequent.

POST 23Original post

So, are you saying that the noise in the video is like yours? Or, is that actually your car? The strange thing is that you originally said your car made the noise when going from forward or neutral to reverse. The video shows the axle being pulled away from the transmission...

Currently: * The ABS/PSM light is firing again, intermittently, due to... * Third taillight needs replacing (currently, just a cut wire back there) * My cluster tries to catch fire if I use the headlights * I screwed up one of the LCD polarizing filters when I was dicking with the cluster. * Still missing a side marker. * Judging by the god-awful alternator whine, it's probably time for a new alternator or voltage regulator * One of the mufflers is coming apart internally and occasionally rattles like a ****. * Driver-side window regulator cable needs to be replaced (or repaired). * I pushed the sunroof switch partially up into the console. And - dammit - I still can't stomach the idea of getting rid of this car.
