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

I have a faulty indicator stalk (3 arm) - apparently its a common failure on the 996 and may share it with early Boxters. I can find a number of parts but am wondering if I buy a 4 stalk switch with Cruise Control what else I would need to have the Cruise Activated if its possible or do I go down the like for like route. Any advice on suppliers to get one from and if this is a possibility. Thanks Mark

Adding cruise is reasonably easy on a 996T. You need to connect 3 wires between the stalk and instrument cluster, and one from the stalk to the fuse panel. It then needs coding with a Porsche tester. Drop me a PM with your email address if you would like full details.

Tony Wright at wrightune.co.uk in Wallingford Oxfordshire does a retrofit cruise control for the 996.
