  1. Thanks for the info guys.......no way I'm going to try to acquire one. When I get this fixed (when......... ) the car will be up for sale as I've bought an old 911. It's most likely I have an actuator fault, but I need to try to rule it out. Does Porsche specify the ground wire test because the DME can go faulty, or is it a 'faulty wire' type fault. I don't really understand how the system works, is it the DME just making a connection to ground & where is the ground point it goes to? In the trunk or a distance away? I understand that sometimes the DME 12V supply goes faulty, has anyone heard that the ground-switching does?
  2. Thanks for reply Loren. I'd been to have another look, & came away puzzled by 'pin52' as none of the connectors go up that far. So is pin 52 on a DME strip? Fault code I've got is P1531. The solenoid works, & is getting 12V when the ignition is on. Someone sent me the the diagnostic procedure, hence I was trying the next step...... :huh: So I presume a break-out box 'exposes' the DME connections? cheers Gary
  3. I suspect I have a faulty actuator on a '98 986. I norder to prove it I want to check the ground trigger (earth) to pin 52, but I don't know which of the harness plugs it's in.....?
