Emergency Flasher Switch

[Cousin Golf-club]

Does anyone have a procedure for replaceing the 4 way hazard switch on a Boxster?

My car seems to have re-developed the signal ligh problem, and it is definitely linked to the hazard switch.

I am going to replace it, as soon as I find out how to do it.

Turn signals do run through the flasher switch.

Push the oval button so that the button sticks out, like you do to turn on the flashers. Look at the sides of the button and you will see a slot. Stick a small screwdriver in one of the slots and pry the button off. Behind the button is the switch.

There is a tab on each side of the switch. Squeeze the tabs with you finger and thumb and at the same time you pull on the white part of the switch with needle nose pliers.

Buy the part as a 996 part. If you buy it as a 986 part you also get the button, so it cost more. If you buy it as a 996 part you get just the switch. Never figured out why Porsche does this.
