OK...on to the next problems of the day.

After fixing the warning light from the LED driving light replacement and my dors not locking, I'm left with with 2 more issues:

1) My horn is not sounding loudly...it's almost like the faint noise when locking the doors with a door open. Any ideas?

2) Plate lights are out and there is no error message... Any ideas?

Heck of a Sunday.

One of my favorites...I'm cool. I find it fun trying to fix these stupid little things.

Did you disconnect the battery thinking it will reset the faults?

Did you put different bulbs in for the license plate? The LEDs did not work on mine. I highly reccomend you replace your front parking lights with your stock bulbs. I had to replace the drivers side lens because the aftermarket bulb fried and melted the plastic (turning the corner brown). The drivers side is still ok but there is a little browning of the plastic housing there too. The worst part is a lens cost over $400.00 to replace and it takes 1 -2 hours to replace it (the entire front bumper must be removed to do this). I know first hand! If you can find a way to install the front LED's without the error message thats cool (no pun intended). LED's do not get hot at all. Ny horn never sounded too loud and I also always got the double horn sound if the alarm did not properly set. One of these days Porsche will fix our key design so it doesn't accidently open the front trunk everytime you bend down to pick something off the floor.
