Instrument Cluster won't light after dead battery
marioh replied to n8080's topic in 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)
Okay, I accidentally left the key in my newly acquired but seldom driven '99 Carrera about 3 weeks ago and found the battery dead,dead!! this morning. First thing I did was connect a charger to the START setting, and everything started flashing, humming, and blinking. So I immediately set the charger to 12 amp charge and things settled down. I waited about 30 mins for the charge to complete and, losing patience, hooked up another car (per owners manual instructions) to jump start. Car started and everything looked fine except the instrument panel was not functioning at all - no speedo, tach, fuel, etc. I thought I really screwed up (maybe I did, with the initial START charge) - but, pulling and replacing (they were not blown) the Instrument Cluster fuses B1 & E1 must've cleared the circuit, because everything worked fine after that. Whew!, close call for big $$ repair...
