I have a 2006 Cayenne Turbo. Today i decided to open the glass window part of the tailgate. When I closed it the dash light indicating the rear glass was ajar was on. After ten atemps (slams) I finally got the light to go out. I know this can't be right. The window was firmly closed after every atemp yet the light stayed on. Is this a fairly common problem. I have checked the archives and there was a lot of discussion about the rear latch but nothing about the tailgate window latch.

Thanks,

Yes there is a LOT, at least 3 designs, your dealer will be able to fix.

That's our moderator....a "the glass is half full kind of guy".

Lewis, how did I know you'd be around to comment on this???? Hope you don't spend all your time on the 968 board after this weekend. We'd miss you over here in pepperland....

'06 models are still using those PERFECT '03/'04 rear window microswitches??.... Geez, suppose you're going to tell me that they're still using the same sensors on the '06 TMS system? What's next?

I'm borrowing ltc's straight jacket and sipped some adult Kool-Aid so my pencil is really on FULL sarcasm.

I'm going to guess that there won't be a going away party

I'm leaving my "custom tailored, yet tight fitting jacket with the arms in the back", my #2 pencils, chewable crayons, and "buy one/get one free" sponge bath coupons for MadFox.
It's almost time to pass the baton............you've been a good wingman.

Chris,
If you're still taking us seriously (think Marx Brothers for a moment), your problem is a simple fix at the dealership.
Didn't want the answer to your problem to get lost in the normal Cayenne induced psychosis.
It's midnight, bed check and lights out time here at my "vacation villa".........

Thanks I'll put it on the list of all the little things that need to be addressed.

damn I thought they fixed these on the 05's

On a Cayenne, nothing's really ever fixed....just deferred.

This doesnt sound like an issue with the infamous rear glass switch. This sounds like the microswitch inside the lower latch part is either defective or out of adjustment. Take it do the dealer and I suspect they will replace the lower latch assembly.

Yes, it's the "other" microswitch. I've had one replaced once, in addition to the "normal" microswitch, replaced 3 times.

You can never have enough microswitches on a Cayenne it seems.
