Anyway, after removing one of the fuses and then simply replacing, they all started working.

As these run off different fuses I thought it was strange.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

Outcome without a verified action link

I can't explain why removing it solved the problem, but the original symptoms sound more like the ignition switch failing to me.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi, bought a dash cam recently and fitted into the Porsche with sound activated, just connects into the cigarette lighter. Thought it would be interesting to see the feedback on my laptop with the exhaust noise etc. Things went well for about a week, then things started to go strangely wrong.Went to start my car one evening and my lights wouldn't come on. No dipped or high beam lights on both drivers side and passengers side. As these run off different fuses I thought it was strange. Anyway, after removing one of the fuses and then simply replacing, they all started working. A few days later, windscreen wipers wouldn't work. Again, I simply removed the fuse and replaced as again there was nothing wrong with the fuse. I have now removed the dash cam and interestingly enough, everything works fine. I also had no problems before fitting the dash cam. Has anyone else experienced issues with dash cams and could it be responsible for these strange occurances. thanks

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

No responses yet, do I assume nobody runs dash cams!!!! It was a fairly cheap unit, only £15. Made in China, but then what's not made in China nowadays. is it feasible that items plugged into the cigarette lighter can affect other systems. Must be a tech guru on this site somewhere, thanks

POST 3Original post

I assume its not on all the time and killing the battery?

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Omg, hope not, sounds expensive.

POST 6Original post

Has the unit got a internal battery? Some cheap units have no diodes fitted and if so current can flow back into car and confuse electrics. Ignition switch It's an Easy cheap repair. https://www.porscheclubgb...p;high=ignition+switch
