DashBoard Lighting Failure

Hi guys, the dashboard backlights for main instrument cluster, together with the warning bong when the lights are on and a door is open have failed. Also, the auto dimming on the PCM is no longer working. It all sounds like a fuse so I have checked every one of the four or so that mention instrument clusters in the guide and they are all OK. The car is only 2 years old (996 cabrio 2), so it is very unporsche like for something to fail. (thinking light switch although this works fine as far as external lighting).

Has anybody else had similar problems or any other ideas as what the problem might be as it's driving me nuts!

Thanks,



Pj.

I had an issue with switches failing on my 996 from time to time. Ended up being the connecting plugs coming undone behind the panel - check it out. Not sure how to get to the cluster bit though.

Thanks, I wonder if the so far useless main dealer warrenty will not cover this as well! Does anybody know what you have to say to actually find something it covers!? ;)

You should find the wtty, covers this item provided it is the unit at fault.

It doesnt cover Pcm, however most electical control units are covered, provided they are not broken because of external problems, eg window motor broken, burnt out because window was obstructed etc
