Headlight switch problem - or more?
werksporsche replied to JacksonS's topic in 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)
Loren, thanks for the prompt reply. As part of the troubleshooting I have checked and clean the grounds at the headlights and they are all good. I don't have 12V at the dim headlights connector at the headlights main connector and at either side of the fuses. If someone has a good electric diagram for me to follow the voltage from the battery thru the fuses and switches that would be extremely helpful so that I can do some further trobleshooting. Thanks again for your help -

werksporsche replied to JacksonS's topic in 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)
I just bought a 1998 Boxster and have the same problem with the dim headlights as described by others. I have read several posting and following some of the advice, I can confirm that the fuses are in good order, the light bulbs are also OK and I have replaced both the light switch and ignition switch and the dim lights are still not working. I have taken out the headlights to check the light bulbs as well as to make sure there is a good contact. The high beam flash works fine but they don't stay on if I push the lever towards the dash - which should put the high beams on continuously. I have made these test with the car's engine running. Looking at the wiring diagram in the Bentley manual I can only assume that the problem could be related with the high beam switch. Certainly that another possibility could be a wiring problem. Has any one had the same problem? Appreciate any advice or suggestions before I disassemble the steering column to replace the high beam, turn signals, wiper switch assembly which is also not cheap. Thanks
