I have a very strange problem. My headlights work fine until I start the motor. Specifically, with the ignition all the way on, but the engine off, the headlights work as expected. With the engine running they will not come on at all. If the headlights are on and I start the motor they turn off, but stay in the upright position.
Ideas? |

If you need to replace the switch, it's an easy job, but most importantly, do yourself a favor and buy one through Porsche, they're still available and won't need replacement in 6 months like some of the cheap Chinese units.

Figger about 35 clams.... That is good advice. I replaced 3 of the cheap ones before getting a good German switch. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) |
