Hi, everybody,

Need some advice on the following symptoms on my 914:

1) “The “G” red warning light (Just next to the brake warning light) on the Left hand Gauge grow (dim light), and it will fully light up when I step on the brake, or turn the turn signal on.
2) When this “G” red warning light turn on, there is no brake light even when I step on the brake paddle.
3) The turn signal light do not signal neither.

Had the following strange findings:

1) I suspect the brake light switch had something to do with this as previously, when this “G” warning light light up, when I step the brake pedal and release it suddenly (pedal returns quickly), sometime the light will turn out. But now it won’t. I had checked the brake light switch and it seems normal.
2) When I switch on the head light, sometimes, it will made the “G” warning light turn off. Sometimes only.
3) When I turn off the engine for a period of time, say hours. It seems to reset the warning light. It does not turn on after I start the engine. But it will light up when I step the brake pedal.


Any suggestion? Where should I look into?

THanks alot.
