New Microswitch For Front Lid Lock
Vehicle Type:
911 Carrera (996)
Model Year:
As of 1999 (X)
Concern:
The microswitch located on the front trunk latch sticks intermittently.
Information:
In certain climatic conditions (cold or wet), the microswitch located on the bottom part of the front lid latch may stick. This could cause the following
conditions:
^
The light will not illuminate when the trunk is opened.
^
The light will not go out when the trunk is closed. This could lead to dead batteries.
^
The alarm horn will sound when locking the vehicle.
The microswitch has been installed in vehicles produced from the middle of February 2000, and can be identified by a yellow or blue paint dot on the
microswitch.
In case of complaints, the new version microswitch can be installed on earlier vehicles.
