In the early clusters there are backlight bulbs which can be replaced when this happens.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi, The middle LCD display on my clocks are no longer visible/illuminated. I can still see the speed changing albeit faintly. Any suggestions on how this can be rectified? The displays to the left and right both work perfectly.

POST 2Original post

In the early clusters there are backlight bulbs which can be replaced when this happens. It's a bit of a pain to remove the cluster and strip it down, but it isn't impossible.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for quick reply Richard. Some fun ahead so. Any suggestions as to where I can source the backlight bulbs or is it Porsche only?

POST 4Original post

You should be able to source them at a motor factor/Halfrauds, etc. There are two different wattage bulbs used - 1.2W and 1.5W. Type number is EBS-P/4-A. I'm not sure which one you need, but it is shown in the workshop manual, which I believe you have. Edit: Looking at it, there is also a 3W bulb, but it doesn't show it in the bulb table (on the Technical Articles pages). The PET lists the 3 bulbs as: 999.631.304.90 - 3W - £5.60+VAT each 999.631.303.90 - 1.5W - £4.48+VAT each 999.631.302.90 - 1.2W - £4.48+VAT each Edit 2: Here you go: http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=22621

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I wonder why they call you the Tech Guru Richard ? [ ] Thanks for the help. I'll order those bits. May even take my owns pics of procedure for other who may encounter this problem. I also found this on the thread you posted: http://boxsters.addr.com/hacks/cluster.htm
