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.

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.

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.

4 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

Maybe a daft question but I have just (after 6 months ownership of my 993 and 1 year of 964) noticed that there is a function display behind/over the switches in the centre console i.e. warning lights, locking, sun roof, spoiler... Should these lite up when I turn the head lights on? Well, mine don't and if they are suppose to come on, how do I fix this? Any suggestions appreciated. MK '94 993 black '85 2CV blue Migration info.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

After an agressive bang with my fist, I got the bottom lights to come on but the top row....nada. Anyone got a tip how to fix this? MK Migration info. Legacy thread was 14777

POST 4Original post

When I got my 993 I had 1 of 3 working in the top bank, and 2 of 3 working in the bottom bank. Each set of 3 bulbs is mounted on a PCB. I initially thought about trying to get replacement bulbs, but was told by a parts supplier that they couldn't supply the bulbs, but woulod repair the units - for a price! i eventually came across an article on a porsche website showing how to replace the bulbs with LEDs, and i have now done that. The beauty is that LEDs won't blow. The website is www.porsche964.co.uk follow the TECHNICAL -> ELECTRICAL REPAIRS & MODIFICATIONS links. Migration info. Legacy thread was 14984
