993 Cabriolet Control Unit Location?
I am ready to replace this, but none of my docs tells me where to find it! Anyone know?
Thanks! Chris |

It's mounted to the underside of the dash in the driver's side footwell. Before you drop $300-$400 on a replacement unit, I suggest grabbing a soldering iron and simply touching up any joints that look a little funny, like a hairline ring around them. It worked for me and for some others who have posted about this on Rennlist

Thanks Eric, I just took a look in that location and the unit wasn't obvious. It is buried back there?

Oddly enough, I have 993.641.330.00 under the dash, which is the control unit for a targa... No, I don't have a targa
 - but in PET it appers to show that you have either 993.618.313 (as part 5) or another control unit (shown as 5a in the diagram) if you are not in a cabrio.

I'm not familiar with the 993, but on my 86, it is mounted on the backside of the passenger side plywood floor.

I got it out and took a look inside it. Found one questionable bridge on the PC board and fixed that - but the top still would not operate. Replaced with my new ebay controller and the top is working.
I'll keep the original for now on the shelf. But I needed to get this working to sell the car. Whew! __________________ Chris ----------------- 1987 911 w/3.6 1996 993 Cab 1994 Jeep XJ Dog Hauler 2003 Toy LC Baby Hauler 1988 Ducati Paso 750 Trek Y-33
