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

2004 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe. Tiptronic transmission. Reversing lights are inoperable. Fuse B5 and bulbs good. 12v present at B5 with shifter in “R”. With both bulbs removed from tail light assemblies and shifter in “R”, 12v is present at both sockets. Placing one bulb in either socket causes voltage drop to 0. Measuring 1.9k ohm between socket (+) and gnd. Has anyone experienced this issue or something similar? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
