Trunk/Engine compartment release switch question...


Recommended Posts

Thanks Loren....

What I want to do is to use the 997 version on my 996 car and just "jump" the correct cables from my 2 plugs on the 996's to the correct pins on the 997 socket. Since, I would think, the 997 version is "still" an electrical switch.

I'm still confused by the graph tough.... :huh:

Well, I doubt the wire colors would be the same on a 996 and 997. Schematics (and wires colors) sometimes change from year to year.

So it is likely best to have both schematics so you can see what goes where.

I will need the model and year of your 996 if you want the corresponding diagram for your 996.

That's correct... you are right. My car is a 2002 Carrera US model.

Thanks!

MY02 996 switches

post-1-1223431826_thumb.png

Thanks!

So I'm assuming that A3 and A5 of the 996 switches are the ones for the light, correct? Are the plugs on the 996 numbered or the BNLL means colors??? I guess I can figure it out with the WH/GY (white/grey) but BN LL and A3 pin doesn't have a color code.... or BN BN on the 997 plug....?????

Thanks for all the help!
