    Having this same issue but passenger side and it is not the switch. Can you take out the relay without removing the seat? Any idea of cost of driver side relay and the part #. Thanks
  2. towney
    Thanks 1schior. Can't seem to find the link/thread on the bicycle brake adjuster fix. There is also mention on a zip tie fix, where are the zip ties to be installed on the requlator?

    Mine is drivers side with window not going down both inside handle and outside handle but I can push it down that 1/2 inch. Is there a DIY link to the window regulator replacement. Anyone ever replace one? When you take the door panel off do you need to disconnect battery because of airbag? Any quality repair shops in Central Florida besides the dealer? Dealer want's $250 and another $400 for labor for part and Ebay has OEM's for $115

    Sorry to bring this thread back to life but having the same issue. Dealer diagnosis my 04' S ratteling sound in left rear. They said it was the L/S Control Trailing Arm (bad bushing) 986-331-043-07. Is it safe to buy an rebuit one from Vertex for the left side? Does any one have instructions on how to replace this. Dealer wants $500 for part and $200 installation. Dearler said it was not a safety issue but just a noise issue, are they correct? Also do I have to have the Dealer do alignment or can a alignment shop work ok?

    Taking it to the dealership service dept. this week and will post the results. I quess what I'm trying to find out for the experts here is what could be the possible issue. Tool Pants/Loren any ideas?
  7. towney
    Triptonic This just started happening the other day and ideas? When in auto the car shifted a little hard from 2nd to 3rd then a harder shift into 4th where it stays, the park and 4th gear light on the dash flashes back in forth and check engine light comes on. When car is re started it will go back to normal with the check engine light off then it starts doing the same thing again. Thanks for your input. See sig. for car details.

    Looking at purchasing a Porsche Plus child/booster seat (not from dealer) for my 6yr old son. Can I use a non Porsche booster seat if I have the deactivation bar installed? If so how do you get it to work if the deactivation bar has a buckle attachment? Thanks.

    How do they compare to Harvey's PNP rears?
  10. towney
    Having this same issue with drives side door rattle. Will the dealer take care of this out of warranty even if the TSB was 2000?

    I'd love to do the 4 stalk OBC, but not car repair savy. I asked the local dealer here and the service manager didn't even know how to program the OBC hack <_< . Any locals here that can be of any assistance on this mod? If your looking for inexpensive upgrades I'd de-amber the lights, add rear speakers like the PNP's.
  12. towney
    Can this OBC hack be done on a 2004 S? Would the instructions and parts be the same?
  13. towney
    You will need either the OBC stalk added toy your steering wheel or hack the dash switch that toggles the same process. The details are documented here but this may be much easier for someone that has doen it before. You can have the OBC activated in your DME and instrument cluster by anyone with a PST2 or PIWIS tester. You don't say where you are located but if you are close to me I'll be happy to turn OBC on for you. On MY01 and later Boxsters (and MY03 and newer Carreras) you will need to add the switch before you see anything in the display. On the older cars the outside temperature showed up immediately as it is the default for OBC. Central Florida. Anyone in Central Florida for this?? Edited: I guess you need the 4 stalk for the OBC to be fully functionable, anyone know where to get a 4 stalk? What might be the charge for the local dealer to install the 4 stalk?
  14. towney
    Ok, Loren and Co. please clarify for me. I have an '04 Boxster S without the OBC is this post saying you can have the OBC features displayed on your non OBC? If so how can this be done. Thanks FYI-Novice here so not to technical.

    Saw the DRL hack, but what if you have heated seats? It made mention of fuse if you don't have heated seats.
