Re: New 3D-Printed 944 Timing Belt Tensioner Tool

Re: Brake Wear Indicator Wiring




What happens if you remove the passenger side jumper that seemed to cause the dash light to come on? If the light then goes back out, I could only guess you are bridging the wrong terminals somehow. If it stays on, then there's got to be a break in the tree lights somewhere else.

Re: Brake Wear Indicator Wiring

Ahh now I get it
