Super glue might work. It is surprisingly strong. *NM*

I was changing a bulb in my '99s instrument cluster when on of the locking levers for a multi-plug broke into 3 pieces. Now I'm looking for that piece Anyone have an instrument wiring harness or just that locking tab? Please. Porsche says they don't sell that piece by itself.

Thanks.

... very difficult to find.
Purchasing a damaged cluster maybe.
I've had cars with the same part broken.
I just insert the connector and secure with a nylon tie wrap.
Happy Boxstering,

Thanks Pedro, I have found that out. I'm going to try the super glue route.

BROKEN PLUG HARDWARE. For those MY01 – MY04 DIY’ers who have broken the lock on one or more of the instrument cluster plugs or who are afraid they might, here’s the part number you need : PNA 721.04.300.202. This part number gets you a package with the three colored (blue, green, gray) covers/locks and all three black plugs. They only come as a set of three and cost $27.00 (dealer). The blue, white and black covers/locks and plugs are available for MY97 – MY00 Boxster s too. Have your Porsche technician (not parts guy) check his “Porsche Electrical Connector Repair Kit” for the replacement parts or at least a part number for the three plug MY97 - MY00 package. The entire repair kit is known as CARTOOL – Nr 96 0 000 or PNA 721 043 600. It is full of connectors the parts guy would like to sell you the entire wiring harness for.

Huh oh, I tried running the part number through a MSRP service at RennTech and couldn't find it in the data base. I have a package of the pieces for the MY01 - MY04. The part number on the bag is PNA72104300202. And I did pay $27.00 for the parts.

Thanks for the info I'll be calling the dealer in Cincinnati to try and get those parts.
Always trust that someone on the board has the information needed.
