Yep - good catch. I just scanned the drawing and picked up the 16 (amp) vs fuse 11.

Factory (electric) manuals are available here. Pelican Parts - Porsche 911 Parts Listings & Diagrams

I am sure there may be some German in them - these are English. You can also buy the entire manual set in English.

Weiss reminds me of Weiss Engle from Marathon Man.

No problem....if you do the conversion, test the bulb on the stacked batteries prior to clipping the leads. Buying those little buggers at Radio Shack for 6 bucks a piece will teach ya to cut once and measure three times....:eek:

Bob, Olivier gave me freakin' nightmares when I first saw that flick... thanks for the reprise!

JoeBob, oh yeah... leds don't just glow dimmer with less current flow. BTW, nice looking family photo on the other thread, even if you're all flippin' Dodger fans. What's the name of the vendor dude who's been deadeye tossing the peanut bags for 49 years or so?

Warren, sorry to hijack your thread... you've been silent, so I figure you've found the partially unplugged connector and fixed the problem.

Thanks guys
 
I just a little while ago found the 14-pin connector plugged into the relay module.

If I'm having a good day, cleaning the connector contacts will solve my voltage drop problem.

Thanks for the input guys

Warren
