Took my car out for a ride today and when I came back and pulled in the driveway my wife noticed my yellow left front blinker leds were not all going on. Hum. There are a total of 16 yellow leds, 8 over the white led strip and 8 under the white led strip. Only the first 4 led on both top and bottom are coming on ARE NOT in sequential, just going on. It happens with the emergency flashers also.I posting 2 pictures here, the right side (passenger) with all the yellow 16 leds on and the left side (driver side) with just 8 of the 15 on.
Just found a video on YouTube on how to take the whole blinker out of bumper, so I think I'll be ready to try anything anyone recommends to me.
I will be taking the car to a dealer and then a few Porsche independent shops to get a price on 1) water pump, 2) plugs, 3) air/oil separator(?), and whatever else is required when hitting around 60K. Its only showing 50,360 miles right now.
Took it by an upper end stereo/audio place to see about having a rearview camera installed to existing PCM 2.1 and they said it would run a lot of money and suggested I look into a blue tooth camera setup.
This is a new car to me and I love it.
Thanks in advance,
Robert Faust
not sure what yr you have but those look like aftermarket lights.. you could just replace, on ebay they go for 200 - 300 for a pair and pretty simple install
I'm not sure if you can do this but can you plug in the driver's side to the passenger side to see if the failure follows? In that way, you can isolated the turn signal housing is bad.
DesmoSD......Thanks for the suggestion of swapping the units. It's the LED's or the sequencer in the blinker assembly (which cannot be opened), Looks like I'll have to buy a set at $300. (OUCH)
