Millercarbon,
That is wonderful information. Thanks. Why is no one listening? Oh, I know, they're too busy listening to themselves.
I've
noticed by some of your comments that we may have more in common than
one would think. Besides a shared appreciation of the RSL 3600s I should
tell you that I also go by SpdYlw993.
Porsche Panorama Technical Editor Alan Caldwell had the most perfect 914 you ever saw. Speed Yellow over black. Al also had a Speed Yellow over Black SC. When he showed up at a concours with a brand new 996 I looked it over real good, walked up to Al and said, "Speed Yellow and Black?" Without missing a beat he said, "Is there anything else?"
When one day my wipers stopped returning to park I went looking for answers. None of the (seriously good) Porsche techs new for sure what it was. Unwilling to start throwing money at the problem but running out of ideas I turned to Al. "There’s a little copper tab inside the switch. It loses its spring after a while. With a toothpick you can bend it back." Sure enough. Saved me a thousand dollars. At least.
Pays to listen. It really does. Some of us figure it out.
