1 matching discussions were examined; no attributable action/outcome evidence was detected. No consensus or repair conclusion is claimed.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.

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

Does my pre-facelift 996 have one or two reversing lights???? 'cos at the moment it has none, and I don't want to start removing lamp clusters if it's just a fuse or a relay! Migration info. Legacy thread was 110293
oh wattie Migration info. Legacy thread was 110321
I know... But when they are not working, how do you know with clear lenses? LOL Guess I'm just going to have to get my hands dirty then... Now, what does a screwdriver look like, anyone??? :wink: I can't believe that 25 years ago I built and maintained my own rally car, yet I don't even possess a trolley jack or a decent set of tools anymore! That's what 15 years of getting a brand new car every 4 months (in the motor trade) does for you... Migration info. Legacy thread was 110357
as far as I am aware they have 2 Migration info. Legacy thread was 110383
Lets see some pics of this Rally car then Wattie................ Migration info. Legacy thread was 110393
Hell ... that means it's an electrical fault rather than just a bulb then... Oh well, maybe I'll get lucky and it will just be a fuse... No digital pics of the rally car I'm afraid... I started with a SAAB 99 just doing road rallies, then bought a part finished Mk1 Mexico (very cheaply) and did a few stages in it before it fell apart (found out why it was so cheap! :roll: ) I went back to road rallying again after that in a pretty much bog standard SAAB 99 EMS (was a student at the time and couldn't afford to prepare a car for stages). Great fun, and I beat a lot of people with much more exotic machinery until my navigator lost his bottle after a particularly near miss at very high speed and I never rallied again after that.

996 has 2 of those. Taking the whole assembly out , is a piece of cake !! One screw , inside the engine bay. And the whole thing comes out. While it , or they are out , clean and wax the lamphole inside , as it is dirty !!! Migration info. Legacy thread was 110430
the reverse light switch should be checked as that fails more often than the bulb .fitted on o/s front of the gearbox Migration info. Legacy thread was 110613
Thanks Sid, I suspect that's the problem as neither working and a bit too much of a coincidence for 2 bulbs to fail at the same time! Is it reasonably accesible? Migration info. Legacy thread was 110619
