1988 944 repair shop needed
Hello all,
I have a 1988 944 Celebration Edition and I need a few electrical gremlins fixed as well as an A/C leak fixed (may be the compressor). Is there a Porsche friendly repair shop you would trust near Diamond Bar Cal? Thanks in advance,

Scott,
It's not local, but Tim at CRE (Cormeau Racing) in San Diego is really good with 944's. What's the electrical problem(s)? |

Scott, I might be able to help over the phone? You can call over the weekend or any time.
Silver or black?

The electrical problem is that the left turn signal light and the left tail light stay on solid most of the time. I have chased grounds and replaced bulbs and cleaned contacts but it still does it most of the time and I am at my wits end. Any ideas.

the turn signals/side lights will stay illuminated solid if the turn signal stalk is left in the position for that direction (left/down, right/up), even with key off or removed from ignition switch.

The turn lever is in the center position and the lights turn off when the key is off.
Keep the ideas coming. Thanks

+1 for rocket man. Also, It's not uncommon for guys to confuse the wiring at left front because the fogs, horns, side marker all have the same spade connectors.
Could be bad combination switch (around the steering column) or bad headlight switch. I'll be at Willow Springs with the POC this coming weekend. Blue 924S #22.

I'll be at Fontana running my Mustang Cobra (sorry) track car I bought last week on BAT. I'll try and check out the combi switch and headlight switch... Thanks for the ideas :-)
