Tyre Noise
carreratime replied to JohnJStewart's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=1218 Fantastic. I was able to remove the exhisting cigarette lighter socket only to find that the new one (from an '02) is slightly smaller in diameter—so it doesn't fit snug back in the existing clear plastic retainer anymore. So do you think I need to order a new clear retainer or will that have problems fitting in the console cover? Clearly this was designed to slip together easily during assembly but not to be changed... Thanks, Steven I ordered the new plastic lighted collar (that allso came with a new light fixture) and everything snapped back into place perfectly. If anyone changes from an '99-01 996 to an '02 996 cigarette ligher socket, you'll need the order the cigarette lighter socket P/N 996-652-101-10-A05 and lighted collar P/N 996-652-102-10. sc -

Trust me on this...it is so easy to reset those tabs...you will not short the system or blow a fuse...and it is way easier than changing out the socket which is a royal PITA. Oh yeah the cost is nothing! I have an '01 996 and have had some issues with the socket being too shallow to accept some types of plugs. Sunset Porsche suggested I buy the cigarette lighter socket for the '02 996 that is slightly deeper and eliminates the problem. I thought the old plug would just pull out but no such luck. Can anyone tell me the secret? Thanks! -
ABS/PSM Faulty Lights
carreratime replied to 99 C4's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
When this ABS/PSM Off light stuff occurred in my 2001 Carrera C2 it was due to low brake fluid. Changed the fluid and filled to the appropriate level and everything has been fine since. Let me know if this helps! -
PSM off and ABS indicators coming on
carreratime replied to gcp05's topic in 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)
Hi gcp05, Check the brake fluid level. It's possible that you are getting a faulse warning because the low level trips the sensor when you accelerate. It's probably time to change the brake fluid anyway:)
