Fuse Locations 89 911 Carrera

[gvporsche]

I have an 89 911 and do not know what fuse goes to what. I am having an eLeftrical problem with my high beams (don't work) and need to trace the wires but don't have a starting point. Also the Left rear running lights are out. All bulbs are in good shape. Can anyone help out with this....Thanks a bunch.

You really need to get a Bentley manual if you don't have the original placard on you fuse box. Without going down to my car, get a flashlight and look at the fuses to see which ones are blown and replace. Try swapping the bulbs also, since those bulbs don't have a long life span in the moisture laded environment the tail lights have. The high beams might be on a relay also and not a fuse. (My brother borrowed my manual! )

Are you sure the turn signal stalk switch isn't at fault? Do a search, there is quite a bit of info regarding high beam problems related to the stalk switch. There is also an easy fix by bending the contacts to restore their normal position.

The running light could be a corrosion issue. There is a brass contact that might need a quick clean. That was a problem with one of mine. Just take the lense (2 screws) & you will see it.

Thanks for all the info. How and where do I bend the contacts on the stalk switch? Gesh, I feel like such a rookie.......I did rebuild my Harley myself beleive it or not. LOL......

Check this thread and then do a search on headlight relays. You should consider installing relays to route the current from the battery to the headlights instead of through the stalk switch.
