Read evidence and context

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.

Discussions that performed work without a confirmed outcome: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

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.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

hi all my son has a 996 c4 1998 year, been having electrical probs, when switching on and starting if the abs and mamagment light stays on, the thottle peddle stops working, will start, but if you switch on and off a few times the lights go out and peddle starts to work, any one got a idea where to start to look? no jobs been done on car, mechanical or electrical regards rob

Possibly Ign switch. They have a poor reputation and when they start to go they cause strange elec problems. Do a search. Pretty easy to change ~$12-14 at NAPA even cheaper on EBay. 4A 0905849B. Used on some Audi & VW. Porsche does not offer the switch by itself any more. Only the whole lock assy.
