    Becker CDR220 SN W5003055 Thanks! :thankyou:

    Check the connection of the shifter cables to the transmission. Here is a link to a similar problem I had PRESS HERE

    It almost looks like part of the seat rail cover. Can you post a couple other shots from different angles?
  4. kbrandsma
    If your light is currently not on just tie them back. Otherwise determine which wheel has an open circuit and snip and connect the cables. I would recommend soldering them and and then use heat shrink to protect them from weather.

    I had a similar issue and when I checked my codes with a Durametric the code (Alarm Fault Code 34) led me to replace the interior infared alarm sensors that are located right above the center rear view mirror. Here is a link with more info. PRESS HERE Check your codes and see what exactly you have.

    Depending on year of the car, fault Codes 45, 46, 48 and 49 refer to a selt belt problem on either the driver's side (45 or 46) or the passenger's side (48 or 49.) The Technical Service Bulletin is TSB 6924. This Bulletin replaces an earlier one dated 10-8-99. I followed the bulletin and replace both. I suppose you can try the buckle first and then the other. SImple enough to go back and do the wiring later.

    No, on the Boxster it is called a changeover valve.

    I had these codes and others as well. Replaced the gas cap. Mine is a MY98 and it had an orginal gas cap. The new ones have the leash which I find helpful. I then replaced the change over valve and these two(2) codes went away. Always a good idea to reset the codes with durametric tool and drive a couple of drive cycles between any repairs. Good luck and let us know how you resolve the codes.

    or remove the light......

    I replaced all four of mine and purchased them from Bob at Sunset Porsche in Oregon. Thet are located under the "Special Offers Menu", then "Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost" above. The fron are fastened with three screws each.

    The maintenance schedules are located on the DIY Menu at the top of this page. Im not sure if you have to be a contributing member or not. The 60K schedule is very important as it is considered a major maintenance interval. I would Do It Yourself (DIY), contribute to Renntech and keep your money in your pocket.

    Sounds like a faulty relay. Try swapping wth someone in your area.
  14. kbrandsma
    You may have to replace the line that is leaking.

    I would be interested to hear the entire story. Sunset is great for OEM new parts. Try one of the reputable used part yards like Oklahoma Foreign or LA Dismantler Los Angeles Dismantler for Porsche 911, Boxster, Cayman & Cayenne 9819 Glenoaks Blvd, Sun Valley, CA 91352 (818) POR-SCHE (767-7243) info@911pcar.com or 911pcar@gmail.com 818-768-0911 fax http://911pcar.com and http://ladismantler.com To contact Oklahoma Foreign: For general information: info@oklahomaforeign.com For Parts request: parts@oklahomaforeign.com By phone: 800.462.2446 800.462.2446 (Toll Free)

  18. kbrandsma

    I had a similar issue and when I replaced my iginition switch all was normal. I swapped radios with a friend and my unit worked fine in his dash and his radio had the same issue in mine. We even swapped AMPs to be sure. Without knowing or thinking the switch and radio were related, I got around to replacing the ignition switch and voila! The switch also fixed some other quirky things as well all electrical.
  20. kbrandsma
    Have you had any other strange electrical issues prior to installation. ALmost sounds like a faulty ignition switch.
  21. kbrandsma
    I use wooden ramps for misc stuff as well as to raise the car slightly to get my jack underneath. They also make quick and easy wheel chocks.
  22. kbrandsma
    I installed the brake decals today.

    Congratulations and nice job!

You will hear it snap into place. Practice a few times so that you know what it sounds and feels like.

    Its common. Should dissipate right after start-up. Is it white smoke? How long does it smoke? At every startup?
