  1. Your car is 24 years old things are going to wear out or fail. Sounds like a bad window regulator to me - a fairly common problem on older cars.
  2. The wiring diagrams are different for each year and each model. Copyrighted material: By registering here you agree not to post (or link to) any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or by this site. Repeat offenders will be banned from this site and their accounts, as well as the offending material, will be deleted.
  3. There is likely a command in the control unit to turn it off. You will need a shop with a PST2 or PIWIS diagnostic tool to do that.
  4. You need a Porsche specific diagnostic too (like PIWIS or Durametric) to test these circuits. If the whole car has been subject to water damage (like from flooding) then you may way more corrosion problems than you wish to tackle.
  5. PM me your VIN so I can make sure you get the right part number.
  6. Not every scanner can read Porsche specific fault codes correctly. Only Porsche PIWIS tester or Durametric software can read Porsche specific codes to my knowledge. For this fault, if it were my car I would definitely check for chewed or otherwise damaged wires and if none I would replace the sensor.
  7. Likely the sensor in the overflow tank.
  8. Try 5432 Try 8281 Please consider a donation to this site.
  9. From the Lost Radio Code FAQ... " The suggested number did not work - what do I do now? Most often when the code we give you does not work it is because the serial number came from an old card in the car rather than from the procedure stated above - or a typo in the serial number submitted. Double check the serial number you submitted using the procedure above again. If that does not work then you will need to contact a dealer or Becker. Becker charges to look up your code and some dealers also charge. Our program works maybe 99.9% of the time but we have no explanation why it doesn't always work."
  10. If the cluster has ever been taken out there is a chance that they did not get all the plugs re-inserted properly (making poor contact). I would start with that and re-test.
  11. Please re-check your serial number as I am getting a "not valid" response.
  12. P1487 DMTL tank leakage diagnosis module possible cause: - DMTL tank leakage module faulty This can be confirmed with a PIWIS 3 short test tank leakage.
  13. The two part numbers I gave come from Porsche's replacement parts system (PET) - specifically for your VIN.
  14. CDC-3 = Compact Disk Changer I need your radio model and serial number. Please read the Lost Radio Code FAQ.
