I currently have the old business card sticking out the top of the wheel.... Now if all goes well, this weekend might be the time to fix the horn....Great job guys on the detail... B)

Took the airbag and front cover off 5mins..... Removed the 4 bolts holding on the Airbag retaining bracket..5 mins... Installed new bracket 5mins..... Reinstalled airbag and tested.... 5mins... 20mins worth of common sense work just saved $$$$$$ Priceless.... the details described here were right on. I brought my bracket from

www.Jpamporschejaguarparts.com by far the best prices for Porsche....... seize the day and getrdone

OK, so here's the deal. It's a three step process. First remove the illumination portion containing the light bulb and the securing bracket, two pieces either both green or as mine was the bulb portion green and the support piece black. These are removed by prying under them with a small screw driver.

Next the center portion, aluminum and white plastic piece. This is held in position by two small tabs located in the inside of the lighter, the location where the actual lighter would be placed. There are small clear plastic tabs about 1/4" wide by 1/8" high that require pressure applied to them, one at a time while pushing on the white portion forcing the center or metal piece out of the assy. This takes some time, a little on one side then a little on the other till it releases. After this the clear section remains.

The clear section is again held by two clear plastic raised tabs that when depressed release the clear portion of the assy. And there you have it. Any questions please let me know, I'll be happy to help. :jump:

That did the trick!! It's those two little tabs that fooled me. You must push them HARD from inside the lighter housing. I placed the white plastic downward on the bench and pushed down as I pried the tabs. Oh yeah, you'll need a medium screwdriver too. The little one couldn't apply enough force on the tabs. German engineers!!!! Thanks.

What a life saver...... Started to do it on my own, 35 mins later I figured I would hit the forum..... thank god..... Had it out and back in oh....... 10 mins...... Lighter still didn't work...... Fuse was fried.....thanks again.....
