If you have a rear window wiper then the manual saya this is where they put the switch - check the owner's manual index under rear window wiper.

I need to read the recent thread about changing those out and see how difficult it is...

When he says "cans removed" does he mean PSE mufflers have been removed and replaced with something else?
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.

Hey Guys,
On Friday morning, I flew to Baltimore (from Tulsa, Oklahoma) to pick up and drive home, 40th Anniversary #714. Thanks to Rennlist I had the car PPI'd at GT Performance and Gennady only spotted a couple of minor issues. I flew in Friday morning, landed at 12:30pm, the prior owner picked me up (in his Lexus... I was expecting the P-car), we went to his office and completed the deal and I was driving it home (after a quick sub at Subway) at 3pm. I drove her until about 9:30pm and spent the night in Bristol, Tennessee. After heading off at 6:15am, I finally pulled in the driveway at 8:10pm Saturday evening. After 1,333 miles, she was home!!! It's now up to about 16,700 miles.
Here's a couple of pics. The first was in our driveway Sunday morning before I had a chance to spray all the road salt off of it. The second pic was taken on 81 somewhere in Virginia close to the Tennessee line. There was not supposed to be any snow in the forecast and it was definitely a little nerve wracking at 80mph on PS2's! Luckily, the snow went away as quickly as it came.
I really enjoy the car so far. Compared to my previous 2000 996, I notice more power, better engine/exhaust sounds (x51?), the full leather interior with the silver accents is more attractive and rattle free, love the 3 spoke wheel, the list goes on and on.
congrats, she looks amazing... Yes you car has the X51 Package Standard (this was a $15000+ Option on other 996's)
X51 - Carrera Power Kit 345 HP
Includes modified cylinder heads, camshafts,
exhaust manifolds, control unit, and aluminum
intake manifold.

Thanks for all the comments! I drove the car to work today and couldn't wait to leave and let her loose (mostly on the on/off ramps...) on the way home!
I've posted this before. The clear lenses are around $30 for the pair. It took me 5 minutes to switch out the pumpkins. So, you can certainly do it - probably in 3 minutes.
I've been travelling and I'm just getting back in the saddle and just seeing your post. Congrats on the purchase. Welcome to the 40th anniversary club!!! Looking at your pix reminds me of when I brought my car home for the first time.
ENJOY
Congrats on the 40th. looks very nice. I absolutey love mine (#159). After the clear side markers consider some bumper plugs. FYI my local Mercedes dealer has one with 30,000 miles. They are asking 56k.
Gorgeous car!! Bought mine in July 08 w/ 9K on the clock and the best model ever but we are biased. Enjoy as much as you can.....

Congrats - I have one too. They are great cars. Enjoy her. Welcome to the 40th club. Here's pics of mine - from a couple years back. She still looks good.

Congrats as well from yet another 40th Anniversary Edition owner (#0025)!
I am quite envious as mine is stuck in the garage for at least another 6 weeks of winter!
On the right switches I have locks, defroster, & rear wiper. The top left is PSM, middle is blank, and cannot figure out the bottom.
My dash looks identical to the pic posted on 2/13 by rodsky except I have a button two spaces below the PSM.
I looked through the manual but did not see anything. Not that it means much as I did not find the switch in the footwell for the spoiler.
If you have a rear window wiper then the manual saya this is where they put the switch - check the owner's manual index under rear window wiper. You could push the button and if the wiper swipes two times then that's it.
Reggie called me. He had PSE retro fitted to the car and the button installed. The cans are removed but the electronics are still there. That is what the button is for.
I thought Reggie's car (now yours) also had the rear window wiper - is there a separate switch for that?
When he says "cans removed" does he mean PSE mufflers have been removed and replaced with something else?
I thought I remembered seeing this pic before - the icon does kinda look like an exhaust tip. Glad the mystery is solved.
The rear window wiper switch is on the right side, 3rd from the top.
The stock mufflers were put back on the car.
I wonder what the cost would be to put the PSE mufflers back on the car?
