That's crazy. Sorry for the derail, but I think I have a minor wiring issue.b3freak wrote: ↑Tue May 11, 2021 3:08 pmSee green arrow...OceanBlue2000 wrote: ↑Tue May 11, 2021 2:13 pm
Wait, there's a open hood light on the dash? I have never ever seen that.

First of all the obvious... check the bulb for continuity.
Don't worry... that MIL may not be present on the Mk1. I've never checked before. Both of my 996 were Mk2.OceanBlue2000 wrote: ↑Wed May 12, 2021 7:45 amThat's crazy. Sorry for the derail, but I think I have a minor wiring issue.

All parts seem there, but the crescent was just a little stuck. So I lubed it up with silicone spray, and it worked fine. I put everything back and the frunk light works great.
Lube is mans second greatest discovery! LOL!
