Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

I think I used a very wide screwdriver (similar to very narrow putty knife) covered with a rag, slid it behind the bezel and worked my way around it.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I'm using this web page as an instruction, http://www.lotususa.com/Alex/911Carrera4S/page4.htm however, I have tried my best to remove the hazard warning bezel but it just won't budge. What is holding it in there? Anybody have a picture of it?

POST 2Original post

Removing the instrument mount To remove the hazard warning light switch: switch on the switch -12- (button comes out). There are small openings on the sides which now project over the instrument cowl. Insert two narrow screwdrivers into the openings -arrow A- and pull off the button towards the front. The hazard warning light switch -13- is held in the instrument bridge -17- by two locking hooks -arrow B-. Press the right locking hook toward the switch, grip the button holder with a pair of pliers and pull out the switch toward the front. Press the collar -14- out from the rear. Pull off the cover -15- on the left side and undo the fastening screws -16-. Lift the instrument mount -17- on the left and right and unclip from the clips -4-.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The button came out but the switch (13) won't budge. Pressing the hooks in and pulling with pliers only gets it out 2mm, then it stops, solid.

POST 4Original post

try this link. http://boxsters.addr.com/hacks/cluster.htm It worked for me when I removed the instruments to clean the inside of the gauge lenses. IIRC the switch cover reveals a torx screw. The switch is removed later, and slides easily once the cluster is popped out. Stefan

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The bezel has been removed in that picture. I can't get the bezel to move either. Don't know what holds it in there.

POST 6Original post

I think I used a very wide screwdriver (similar to very narrow putty knife) covered with a rag, slid it behind the bezel and worked my way around it. It finally popped out. Try spraying armorall in there to lubricate things. Stefan
