I have a 2000 986S with factory installed Litronics. After replacing a dead parking lamp bulb, all the bulbs in that assembly are non-functional (parking, blinker, high beam, low beam)
Here's what I did.
1. Check manual for bulb detail and replacement procedure. Seems easy enough.
2. Acquired bulb from Pelican.
3a. Opened front trunk, unscrewed carpet bolt and pulled carpeting away, pulled out rubber plug, inserted P-tool into hole and rotated it as the lamp assembly moved forward about a half inch.
3b. Removed bulb assembly from fender, unplugged wire harness, removed cap to access bulbs.
3c. Swapped bulbs by pulling parking lamp holder out of assembly, removed bulb from holder, very carefully handled new bulb and installed in holder with twist action to lock in place, replaced bulb holder into assembly, closed up cap.
3d. Plugged wire harness back in, slid lamp assembly back into fender (no easy task to get it started on the tracks to slide in), used P-tool per manual, loud clicking sound, assembly appears perfectly in place.
4. Test new bulb by turning on ignition and then headlights and confront failure. Nothing works in the assembly, not even the headlight which had worked with the original dead bulb. When I put on the turn signal, just the signal for that side, it clicks rapidly. I can see in the reflection from the car ahead that the front blinker isn't blinking; the rear blinker works ok but seems to be flashing at double speed.
5. Removed assembly again, checked wires.
6. Fuses check out ok.
So that's where we are. I have tried a few times to reinstall the light. I removed the other side, examined the connections, and reinstalled and it is working.
Help!
