Funny juggering feeling when moving.
sactorandy replied to si2040's topic in 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)
si2040, Did you ever find the solution to your juddering/rubbing noise? My noise or maybe just a feeling isn't the tires and I haven't found anything else that isn't working as it should. -

I have this same intermittent noise on my 99 986. I was at a loss as to how to describe it until now, juddering. It is almost like a sonic rubbing sound/sensation and seems to be coming from the front. It is annoying but passengers don't seem to notice it. I had my independent drive the car and he acknowledges that there is a noise but found nothing after a thorough check of the brakes and front suspension. I've checked everything that I could think of and couldn't find the cause either. I've lived with it for a year now and just turn the radio up. Please post the solution if you find one. -
Air-bag light/Seat belt receptacle
sactorandy replied to sactorandy's topic in 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)
:D I finally got around to installing the new receptacle and wiring kit and discovered that the wiring kit had been previously updated and just the receptacle needed replacement. Replacing the seat belt receptacle was easy except for connecting the plug. Porsche sure could have designed a more positive fitting plug. After struggling with it and being unsure if it was connected correctly without bending those vary small wires, I took it to my independent's shop to have the light reset. All is well so far. Thanks for the advice. -
Air-bag light/Seat belt receptacle

Thanks Tool Pants and Loren. I ordered a new buckle and wiring harness from Sunset yesterday. I'm going to experiment with the spray before I install the new buckle. If it works, will the light reset automatically? I'll post the results. -
Air-bag light/Seat belt receptacle
sactorandy replied to sactorandy's topic in 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)
Thanks Loren. My independent determined the fault to be the passenger seat belt. He said to just replace it and the wiring harness but I think there should be a way to make it work since the fault isn't a moving part. Call me cheap. I'm just resisting spending the $100 to turn off the light. -
I have the typical air-bag light on due to a bad seat belt receptacle. Has anyone tried to repair their existing receptacle and wiring harness ground instead of buying a repalcement? What happens to these? Is there a way to trick the system into thinking the receptacle is ok? It seems a waste to replace it when it is functioning properly.

While driving today, both windows dropped down about 3 inches and won't go back up. They work fine up and down but stop 3 inches before being completely closed. I suspect this has something to do with the top and a micro switch somewhere. Has anyone else had this problem? I don't know where to look. Help please.
