Clock/ Oil Level Display Blank?


Recommended Posts

I had the exact same issue with my 2000 boxter a month ago. On certain days with the light certain ways I could see the clock still on but the light shining in had to be perfect. Anyways it was a real simple fix, the light bulb had burned out on the dash for that part of the cluster. I replaced the light bulb and it worked perfectly. Not real hard to do and lots of articles on how to remove the instrument cluster to get at the light.

Hope that helps.

Shine a bright flash light on it when it is not displaying, you should be able to make out the digits, and as the previous posted pointed out, should just be a bulb.

If you can't see the display, then you would be looking at board repair or cluster replacement (both are $$ compared with bulb).

I went all Blue for my dash, I even did the A/C controls and the switches all blue. I must say it looks amazing at night! I just used EBAY for the lights. Just search for Boxster lights and you should get many hits, I dont know if red was a option. I think it was either bright White or Blue.
