Read the New Visitor thread for starters, become a member. Print a copy of the relay/fuse chart at 928gt.com. Put the phone number of that site and 928 International in your phone book. They are sponsors here. 20th Street and Parts Haven or Heaven are too IIRC. Learn to search here; usu that is faster than just posting a question. Nothing wrong with that, but it sort like fishing, you don't know when you will get a bite. There are threads on refurb the CE panel, pics etc. Google, Pirtle and Nicols. Those are invaluable site for 928 trouble shooting.
Welcome and good luck.

I did register etc, I have my manuals, relay charts are posted on my garage wall and in front of my computer. I have emailed several dismantlers already for the panel. One is near home so I am hoping I ca just wait until they have one.
Thanks again for the advice - still looking for someone to tell me what the lone open plug connector is??

Contact one of the site sponsors for a replacement panel and relays. 928sRus or 928 International.
I wouldn't run the car like that, looks like it is one short away from a fire.
Also see when the timing belt and water oump (TB/WP) service was last done. If over 5 years or 50k miles it's time for it to be done again.
When you do the motor mounts I would put in a new steering rack and replace the oil pan gasket if they are leaking.

I have no timing belt history so it is on the list but the belt tension is good and the belt appears to be recent. I will not risk it though.
Engine is clean no leaks, generally everything in the bay is in great shape. Tie rods are work no other front end play. Lots of vibrations from the bad mounts though. Engine doesnt move at all when its revved.!! I will compile a list hopefully with everyones help for what to redo when I am doing the mounts. Bushings, gastkets etc...
Thanks you are all great...
I love this car, even if it has been beat up a bit..

I asked the same ??? a while back about that connector....of course I forgot what the answer was (shocker) but I think it was a diagnostic connector that is not really needed....so its a no biggie...
