yes, there is a fuse. forgot which one tho ...
oh, and if you have a middle-console, check the square heater light. the contacts there are less than a mm apart and have caused blown fuses for the gauges in the past. Andy |

thanks andy. i had to remove the switch/carpet to adj the shifter. i'll check that asap. i love (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) these simple fixit answers. as stated before, "this bb rocks". what do you think a dealership would charge for this stuff?

Had that experience. Wanted the dealer to work on something a couple years ago. They kinda laughed then a salesman came over and suggested I buy a new Boxster. His advice was it would probably cost less to keep it up. Thank God I'm doing all my own wrenching now. Dave |

Fuse #7. Check the license lights (same fuse). It's probably the heater light that shorted but you still need to replace the blown fuse.

andy nailed it. the hot lead was a bit frayed an inch or so back. must have contact to the tunnel and popped the fuse, and yes james it was #7. thanks guys. the switch on the tunnel would have been the last place i would have looked. the old addage "what did you do last" was the obvious answer.
