I use the Porsche PET for P/Ns. Sorry. I'm not familiar with the PET. What or where is this? Thanks, -Chuck

Hi All, Does anybody know of a good source for looking up part numbers? I would also like to know if anybody has seen any place that shows compatibility of instrument clusters and other parts. Thanks, -Chuck

They stay on indefinitely. Basically until the battery goes dead or I disconnect it. -Chuck

Thanks for the reply. Just the ODO/MPH,etc stay on. I'd hate to take this down to the dealer to figure it out. I'll try disconnecting the ignition switch to see if the lock and check the time adjustment knob to see if it is stuck. I guess I'll have some time over the winter to tinker with it some more. I've also been keeping my eye on eBay for a used instrument cluster. Quite a few come up, but none seem to be for my 99 C4 manual tranny. Does anybody know if there is a cross reference for which clusters can be swapped with different cars? Thanks, -Chuck

Hi All, After looking for solutions, I found that my car's symptoms were part of what others have resolved by replacing the ignition switch. While replacing the switch, I noticed that the red paint covering the screws that hold the switch in place had been disturbed. It appears that the previous owner had already tried this remedy. I replaced the switch anyway since I had the new part. There was no change in behavior. I'm hoping that somebody can recommend anything else that I may try to resolve this problem. The car is a 1999 C4 and the only lights that stay on are the ones lighting the LED displays at the bottom of the instruments (Tach, Speedo). Are there relays that may be stuck closed or could this possibly be something wrong in the instrument cluster? Thanks for any suggestions. -Chuck
