Vehicle Type:
911 Carrera (996), 911 Carrera 4 (996), 911 GT3 (996)
Model Year:
As of '99 (X)
Concerns:
Illuminated vanity mirror (I No. 274) in the sun visor - light inoperative (Coupe & Cabriolet).
Information:
In addition to defective bulbs or a blown fuse (fuse C3), the problem can also be caused by a disengaged contact spring in the vanity mirror. The contact
spring disengages when the opened cover of the vanity mirror is "overpressed" past the end position.
In the event of a complaint, replace the vanity mirror. Previously only the complete sun visor was available. The vanity mirror housing is now available
as an individual part.

Slotted screwdriver (small and medium width) or narrow plastic wedge
