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.

7 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Will the on board computer column switch from a 997 fit a 986?

POST 2Original post

I dont think so, the 4 stalk assemblies come available quite often

Ideas about a way to find out would be: Find the parts numbers for both items. If they match, they will work. Failing that post a picture of just the switch. I am sure we can find a picture of the 986 switch for a comparison.

POST 4Original post

part Number 996.613.219.10 For a connecting harness take a look at mine instead of buying wires and making your own (shameless plug)

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks guys. I did buy your part and its great. How do I hook it up if I wanted to do a dash switch? I can't seem to find the column switch for the 98.
