Hi Phil,philmorganbrown said:I had a similar issue on my 2003 986, where turning the light switch to main beam (not the high beam via the stalk) there was no or intermittent action. I removed the light switch (not too difficult) gave it a good spray of contact cleaner which sorted the problem.

Thanks, I’ve come to the same conclusion, my Sunday job this week is to have a go at removing the switch and cleaning the contacts with contact cleaning spray. Just purchased some plastic pry bars to remove the red part of the unit, so I can access the contacts and probes. we’ll see how it goes, £70 for an OEM part and £140 for genuine Porsche. Steve
