Find and clean all your grounds on your 38 year old car .

There is probably a ground near the drivers left foot for both items you mention.

Also (just had to do this) remove, clean, and replace all your old and corroded fuses.

My 84 is starting to act up and it’s just corrosion and ground.

this doesn’t show any grounds at the left foot area only behind fire wall. did you mean there are 2 inside the car at drivers side?

This is the ground point locations for a 928. Not sure what year the 911 diagram is that was posted by grb008, but it does not match the ground points of 85 in my factory service manual Current Flow Diagram. pages 97-31 through 97-61. If you don't have copies of the Porsche Work Shop Manual let me know your email and I'll send you some PDFs.

Let me check the year on that one, I may have posted the wrong one sorry about that. Crap that was from the late 70s.
