Today's Outrageously overpriced 996 part
#31
Something to add . . . .
A couple of days ago I noticed my passenger side "parking light" died on my '03 986 with Litronics. I pulled the bulb out to find that the filament was in tacked and the bulb was not dead. So I popped the passenger side bulb into the driver side socket and the bulb still did not work. At this point I did not have my multimeter to check continuity of the bulb and it was late at night. I then put back the driver side bulb, and sure enough that one now didn't work. I then checked all fuses and no signs of a any being blown. At this point I was frustrated, reinstalled the headlight housing and called it a day.
A little while ago I got off the phone with my mechanic and they said it could be a faulty dashboard light switch (they had seen two of these cases within a week not too long ago) or a computer glitch. They suggested to continue driving the car with the headlights on, day or night, for a couple of days and see if the lights come back on. A buddy mentioned disconnecting the battery to reset the computer. Has anyone had this problem and/or tried any of the suggested fixes or have advise?
Thanks for your input!
