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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Parking and driving lights are working fine. I open the fuse door but there is no way to tell which fuse is the one. Any ideas what could be the fault? The high beams only work when I hold the lever towards me or the steering wheel. Thanks in advance. G'

POST 2Original post

Might be the light switch, I understand they can go bad. Fuse is another good thought.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I just don't know which fuse to check. Is it possible that part of the switch is working since parking and driving lights work? Also is the more than one fuse? Thanks! G'

POST 5Original post

My guess is the headlight switch itself. Happened to mine earlier this year - very easy DIY w/ great instructions. Common issue w/ 996's.

POST 6Original post

Should be one of these folded up in the fuse box cover. If both are out +1 for switch

POST 7Original post

Nthing the bad switch; it's a well known failure item. The light switch is a fairly easy replacement, but it's a pricey part- just over $100, IIRC. If you're handy, you can dismantle it and repair it; probably just a dirty or bent contact.

POST 8Original post

Check Pelican parts for the switch, I think that is where I may have gotten mine. No wait, it was somewhere else, maybe sunset Porsche, in any case was around $80, and 15 minutes or less to replace. DC4S

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks guys! I just ordered the switc. G'
