Default No trip odometer reset switch
i apologize, I know this was partially addressed somewhere in this forum, however since I joined I can’t find the discussion. I removed my dash trim piece to align my trip odometer microswitch, imagine my surprise, there was not one. Looked like there had never been one. Does not seem right. Cannot find a listing (pn) for the switch, where to from here?

Are you speaking of the reset ?
The series two car resets which are located in the middle of the false vent to the right ?

Try 944 641 321 00 for the later model trip reset button switch. It is in the PET.

Yes it is the reset switch behind the faux vent that I am referring to. I should have mentioned I have a 1992 968. Thank you to Thomas for the pn, I will look that up. I am not familiar with the PET, what is that?

PET is the Porsche Parts Explorer. https://www.porsche.com/usa/accessoriesandservices/classic/genuineparts/originalpartscatalogue/
It's a must have if you own a Porsche and plan on tinkering with it.

I looked up the number on the 85.5 up diagram so double check the part number.

Bought the switch, however the wiring from the instrument cluster to the switch is nowhere to be found. This is crazy, no remnants, no cutoff wires, no connectors laying inside the cluster, nothing! Any thoughts?

Did you figure this out? Currently in the same situation, bought a switch and everything, but no wiring to be found.

Wiring has probably fallen down, check along the loom around that area

The word PET is a German acronym..it stands for Porsche Ersatz Teile..AKA Porsche Replacement Parts..FWIW.

I've pretty thoroughly checked. At the moment the whole cluster, all the trim, and the heater controls are out. So it's easy to poke around in that area, there's just nothing to be found. That's why I was hoping for some pointers as to where it should be connected.

Here's the wiring diagram, which would make me think it plugged directly into the B plug of the cluster, but that plug has the brown/yellow pin still in it -

I was thinking I could unwrap the loom tape and follow the wire to where it should have a connector, but that seems pretty brute-force.

Here's the relevant link for that, but I know that's not what the button looks like, and there's nothing to indicate connections -

Awesome paper version of the catalog is from a fellow Rennlist user.
Here's the catalog in paper. I got this from a Rennlister (thanks!) and I use it all the time.

Ah, I see the confusion. I'm not the original poster. I actually already have the button part (944.641.321.00), which can be found here -
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Porsche-944...0/152381872536

and the connector housing (944.612.547.00), which can be found here -
https://www.pelicanparts.com/More_In...612-547-00-OEM

I'm just trying to figure out where to hook them up!
