Tiptronic shift light


Recommended Posts

Hey guys and gals...

I just took our new fixer-upper 1999 996 Cab with the Tiptronic transmission out for a spin the other evening and noticed that the gear shift indicator numbers next to the tiptronic console shift lever were not lit. Now I've never owned a tip before so not absolutely certain that there would be light there but it does seem like there would be.

Can someone who has a car like this confirm that it should be lit and possibly give me a tip on how to get in there and replace the bulb?

Thanks!

Doug

I have a 996 Tip - there are NO lights for this - it's just a piece of plastic as a cover with painted letters. Porsche must figure if they don't install six speed position lights for manual then why the heak would auto users need them? :) Besides - you've got the gear position lights on your speedo anyway...
