Hazard Light Switch

[Guest]

I need to change the hazard light swith on the dash board as it doesn't seem to click and stay. Any ideas how to change it? How to pull it, what tools etc. Any help would be great.

Andriko,

Did you mean for the Boxster?

I thought you were a 944 owner?

Hi Mark,
Yes for my brothers Boxter i own a 944 S2.

Fair enough! At least I'm paying attention[]

I'll try and take a look tonight for you.

OK,
With the switch "on" (the button comes out) you should be able to see 2 small openings on the sides which now project over the instrument cowl.
Insert 2 small screwdrivers into these openings, this will unlatch the button. Pull off towards you.
You can now get to the switch itself. This has 2 locking hooks. Press the right hook towards the switch, grip the button holder with a pair of pliers and pull the switch out.
Assembly basically consists of pushing the switch back in, and pushing the button back on.

Good luck! (don't forget to ask for your 10% club discount when you get the new switch!)

No problem,

By the way, this is for a pre-facelift (2003) Boxster. I'm not sure that the same process applies to these.

Good luck.
