There's a thread about bypassing some relay that makes the cooling fans on the engine run full time so on really hot days you don't have to wait for it to kick on.

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.

21 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.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have an unidentified switch on my '02 996 Targa. Any idea what's its purpose ??? Please note that switching it produces no noticeable effect... Thanks by advance.

POST 3Original post

So, what on your car is aftermarket? Radar? Power up an Amp? There's a thread about bypassing some relay that makes the cooling fans on the engine run full time so on really hot days you don't have to wait for it to kick on. Fog lamps? Anyone else want to chime in along those lines?

POST 4Original post

It's the passenger seat eject button! It could also serve as a self destruct button for when you start to hear a "marbles in a can" sound from the engine. Or maybe it's an electrical cut off for the DME so you can clear those pesky CEL's while on the move. Actually....I have no idea.

Allows you to connect (somewhere) an external audio device like an iPod or iPhone to your car's stereo. The newer ones are BlueTooth, but the button looks different.

POST 14Original post

It might be a on/off switch for your gearshift lever boot vacuum sweeper. Looks to be stuck in the "off" position.

POST 16Original post

Al Bundy's dog house light- cudos if you got this.. Have no clue about the switch- just could not resist...

POST 18Original post

Technical forum and you guys have no idea!!! IMS kill switch, your car will stop immediately twisting 4 times in the chasis, (warning may cause severe damage to the exterior but the IMS will be intact, which is the most important thing in this cars) or either the airbag suspension control like the new Macan.
