David,

I don't have the wiring diagram handy but loose wires in the dash makes me cringe. For some strange reason Porsche did not design the instrument wiring to be on a fused circuit so you have a hazard on your hands. I'd suggest checking for any other surprises with your instrument wiring and look at adding a simple in-line fuse. The fuse is super easy. I'll look for the wiring diagram and the thread that shows how to install the fuse.
