Car Forum / Porsche / Porshe 944 / August 200487 944 instrument light in the odemeter
hello, can someone assist me with this. The red center light(look like an exclamation mark)that sit above the signal lights stayed on while i'm driving. It doesn't light up when I start the vehicle......I checked the fuse box and everything is in place. I looked at the service mannual and it doesn't really show any troubleshooting tips on this. Any information is greatly appreciated. Thanks You can a go a few ways with this. First of all the ! or Actung light as we like to call it, is a systems monitor. Airbags, ABS, E-Brake engaged, etc... If a fault is found it will come on. The first and easiest thing to check is if there is an accompanying light. Is the brake or airbag light on also? If not, you will have no choice but to have your mechanic put it on the diagnostic computer and tell you what the fault code is. If it is an easy fix, pay him the $70.00 and fix it yourself, if it is one of the system computers or an airbag sensor, you may have to have someone else fix it. What country/state are you in? > hello, can someone assist me with this.

Larry '86 944 NA '87 944S Thanks for the info. Fyi, the The instrument(!)light is a warning light for any type of problem on vehicle. In my case it was a wiring problem for temp gauge. Thanks again. Help! Any idea why i'm getting hot air coming from all the air vent while driving eventhough the fan switch is off. Any information or suggestions is greatly appreciate it.

There is a flapper door that is held onto a rod by this cheap plastic clip. The clip breaks and the door flops around so you can't stop the heat flow. The Porsche dealer will usually just give you one or maybe charge you a couple of bucks. It will be the cheapest fix you will ever have. Good Luck!

Everything works fine....thank you very much for the suggestion fellows. |
