    Thanks! I found instructions on removing the Carbon Canister. It helps when you know the name for something :)

    What is this highlighted box in the front luggage compartment of my 2005 997? I need to remove the liner/carpet as some brake fluid leaked in a recent brake bleed. It's needs a good cleaning. As far as I can tell, I need to remove this box. I removed the 2 top screws on the bracket but it does not pull out. The bracket needs to be pushed down somehow or the box detached. I thought I would see if anyone know what this is so I can better research how to get it off. Thanks, AlAiN

    Front End Control properly reprogrammed and Fog lights are working again!

    Thanks. I see light switch. Would that mean everything controlled by the lights switch? Thanks again, ALAIN

    Can anyone tell me everything that is controlled by the Front End Unit. I have recently had mine replaced an would like to know (for future reference) what kind of failures I can expect if any. Thanks, AlAiN

    Thanks. I will be scheduling a visit.

    I recently had the Front End Control unit replaced and noticed that my fog lights no longer work. I can't say for sure if it was like that before of after. I looked for a fuse but nothing is clearly marked for the front fog lights. DRLs are working fine. Anyone with a suggestion is greatly appreciated. Thanks, AlAiN

    Thanks voltairesb have been waiting to get the work order so that I can list the part number but yes it was an actuator but the secondary one for the emergy lid release (See diagram). It was stuck! This was replaced as well as the Front Controler. Now I got to figure out my hi-beam situation. Next post ;) Thank you all who responded and I hope this post comes in handy for someone else.

    Not resolved yet. PFAFF also thinks it is the Front End Control Unit and I am to bring it in. Yes, I do get the "Visit Workshop" message. I suspected static as I was using a microfibre clothe to wipe some dust off. When I got to the font bumper the buzzing started. What else could it have been !? Strange though. Anyway, I really appreciate your response. Thanks! I'll post back what PFAFF finds out.

    Yes, I found the actuator by pulling out the siding carpet. And, yes, I do have Home Link.

    Tried to disconnect but found it very hard and did not want to break it.
  14. iAutomate
    Ok. It is neither of them. The actuator is working fine. The noise is still coming from the general area. The following photos has the area in question. Now looking more closely from the luguage compartment I see wires leading into that general area. What to? And what cold be causing this noise? The Horn? Thanka again for any insight. AlAiN

    Is it the front lid microswitch or actuator making this loud noise? I have attached an audio sample of the buzzing that appears to come from the front lid latch area. After many scenarios, I came up with 2 ways to easily reproduce: Open the lid with the key remote then pull the manual lid release... buzzing Simply turn on the ignition... buzzing To get it to stop I have to disconnect the battery. It has stopped on its own a couple times after several minutes but most times it seems to want to go on for ever. Back to my question...Is it the front lid microswitch or actuator making this noise? I am not familiar with these parts to know which one is powered to cause such a noise noise. The funny thing is that I was simply going around the car dusting it off and when I got to the front bumber area it just started! Thanks in advance for any insight. AlAiN VN-20120428-00001.mp3
