You can only get the code from a dealer. The code is unique to each headunit.

Did you check the fuses? Maybe one is blown.

There is a pull out tab in the fuse box located in the driver foot well. It's a red rectangular block, pull it out to expose the metal clip. Put a battery charger or other source of + 12 volts on the clip, and the negative end on a ground (has to be a good ground, try the bolt on the door). then activate the hood release switch.

Unfortunately the only to get the code is to go to the dealer. The code is unique to each car.

Best thing to do is call the dealer parts department. They will tell you the part number.

It could be the fluid (you need to gain access to the engine below the convertible top cover), or it could be your power steering pump going bad.

Usually about 20 miles

That could be a bad clutch throwout bearing or you have a problem with your synchros

That is the way it's supposed to work.

That's likely the switch at the stock. You need to remove all the trim pieces around the steering column and replace the indicator switch.

This could be bad. Was the engine running when the car flooded? If so, and water made it into the engine you may have blown the engine.

A few things to check:1. I had a car burn out both brake lights at the same time. Be sure both bulbs are good.2. Did you verify the fuse didn't blow again? If it's blown you'll need to track down the short.3. The next ting to check is the switch that activates the lights when the brake pedal is pushed.

Hi John, It sounds to me like your switch is bad. I would order a new one and replace it. if that doesn't work you can usually return the switch. just be sure and check the return policy.

Check the ground, a poor or loose ground can have an effect on many devices, best tool to use is a probe light, you can check at the lights you may have voltage there but no ground, or a ground but no voltage. good luck!

This is a problem with Porsche cars. What you need is a trickle charger or use the car on a more regular basis to keep the battery charged. If you have a garage with power get yourself a trickle charger and leave the battery on charge when not using the car. If this is not posible charge the battery up fully start the car and see if your dash lights go out. If they don't go off it might be your alternator is not working, get it checked out, or do it yourself if you can.

Open the window fully and close, it should reset the window. Good luck! Hope this works....Blando

The check engine light is on to tell the driver the computer has found a problem that affects performance and emissions or fuel economy.The computer would need to be scanned for trouble codes, the problem fixed, then the codes cleared to make the light go off.
