Had to jump 944 and now dash cluster and sunroof dead, fuses OK
The other day I left my parking lights on while at work. After working 8 hour my car was battery was dranned and I could not trun over the car. So I had a buddy jump it. It started and runs fine. However my dashboard cluster is totaly dead and I can't open the sunroof. I checked the fuses and they are all OK.
Any ideas?
Thank you.

I had my cluster and sunroof go dead on me and it was the fuse that controlled the dash iirc. I guess this doesn't help but I thought I would just chip in.

If I remember correctly in the 944 manual it says not to jump the battery with the car's + - connected, otherwise it could damage the electrical system.
I would check all fuses just to be safe and see if any others are bad.

Schismatic? A schematic that keeps changing?
One of the fuses is not OK. There's a fuse chart on the inside of the box cover. Sometimes they look OK and they're not.
Very strange that it blew.

Ditto Peckster's comment. Sometimes they look OK through the little window, but are still blown. Try substituting a known good fuse into the slot(s) for the suspect fuses and you'll probably be fine.
