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

These have started to flicker, go off then come back on, any ideas? Could it be the fuse? Tried searching for this fault on the forum couldn't find, however not the best function. Mike

POST 2Original post

Are the rear number plate lights working properly?

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Haven't checked yet but I do know they are linked.

POST 4Original post

They share the same supply from fuse A5. If the fuse is OK, then it is most likely the headlight switch, which supplies A5.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

POST 7Original post

There is a DIY on here, but you won't be able to access it as a Guest. Drop me an email, and I'll send it to you when I get to my PC tomorrow.

POST 8Original post

Dead easy to replace. Bought one off ebay for my wife's Boxster and only took a few minutes to replace. Her dashboard lights had gone off altogether. John
