Thanks in advance for your help. I am now working on fixing the little things on my 1986 930. The interior lamps will not light. I have seen photos of the wiring but now cannot locate them. The black (hot) wires are not hot. When I run a wire directly to the lamp they work. The problem seems to be getting power to them. From the passenger side (right-US) the black wire seems to run forward. How do I trace that wire and re-connect it to power? At least then the passenger side will work. The glove box light and front hood light work properly. I don't have a clock, I have a full size turbo boost gauge instead. If I can get the power to the light then I can work on getting the door switches (ground) to work, but for now, manually switching it is okay. Thanks again for having a great forum!

Hi 930 lover

your question is not Turbo specific so we may be able to help you but just be aware there is a dedicated 930 forum ( 911 turbo ) . may be helpfull if you want to keep all your posts on one forum.

I think you are going to need a schematic to help you out for your car . because the clock has been removed all bets are off .. we dont know where the distribution point is for all of your power.

I have a 78 Targa so dont have nay lights beyond the one dome light . do you have more lights than this ?

Thanks Iceman. I have seen the schematics but its the routing of the wires I'm looking for. Specifically the black wire that comes forward from the passenger side lamp. If I can locate it under the dash, or in front of the firewall on that side I can see if its disconnected or cut. I could also run a new wire if I could fish it through the pillar.

well i dont even know where the passenger side lamp is and the Porsche IPC does not even display for an 86 Turbo.

(You may need the 930 guys help for this after all

Try a new lamp, if I remember correctly I had a similar issues years ago, replaced them and they worked.

Thanks. The lamp is fine. It works when I bring power to it by a separate wire. The bulb is fine. I just need to figure out how to get power to it.
