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

New to porche have a 996 low mileage 2001 model 3.4 cabrio. Car is great clocking up mileage faster than any other car I've owned, just a great drive. Have encountered only one problem, the digital readout for the speed has stopped working for no particular reason, the analogue clock works fine. Any clues?remedy? wiring to check? fuses? is this a known problem?

POST 2Original post

Have a look at fuse B4 I think it is, is the rear spoiler working ?

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for the your suggestion, yes the spoiler does funtion and fuse B4 is OK. Having just driven car with a torch aimed at the digital readout the LCD is funtioning but not iluminated. Is this simply a back light bulb that has failed or could it be more serious? its it easy to replace bulbs if this is the case?

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

[ ]Also on phone and eating apple!!!!!!![ ] In truth taped a micro torch to dash so as not to interfere with steering and drove around private industrial park

POST 6Original post

If you send me an email, I'll attach instructions for the instrument cluster removal and backlight bulb replacement to the reply. They are in pdf format, so I can't attach them to this post.

POST 7Original post

On your year each of the 3 LCD displays has a bulb. http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=1827
