I think Porsche back in '86 knew they had some circuits that were susceptible to voltage spikes. Hence the mysterious '86 year only diode in the parking light circuit, which was discussed in a post of mine way back in 2001! http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-911-technical-forum/10069-help-strange-parking-light-electrical-problem.html
