Hi guys can anyone help? i have a 1982 944 and the problem started when my battery kept going flat and was not being re charged.So I bought a new battery and still the same so i bought a new alternator and still the same, when engine running the battery test results were showing just under 12v instead of about 14v? I have now noticed that when i turn the ignition onto the first click without the engine running the temperature shoots straight to red and i have no battery or oil light displayed on the dash. I have checked all ground points and they all seem to be ok? Any help will be greatly appreciated as it is driving me mad

Hi, any help appreciated. My 85.5 944 turn signal stopped working, I took the steering wheel off, then the turn signal part which was held together with four rivets. I drilled out the rivets, got inside the box, cleaned and sanded the contacts, re-assembed and my turn signals now work fine. HOWEVER, my horn has stopped working (fuse & relay ok), and the dashboard indicator light for which gear I am in, now comes on only when my headlights or parking lights are on! This seems most peculiar, since I re-assembled the turn signal box, with all its contacts to the harnesses, very carefully. I can't understand how the two malfunctions I note above should have resulted from what I did. Any advice on how to correct these two functions will be appreciated. ALSO, my muffler system is quite new and upon careful inspection I can't find any leaks all the way from the manifold to the tailpipe--yet, I get exhaust fumes in the cabin if the windows or roof are open. If they are closed I get no exhaust fumes. I tried the test of plugging the tailpipe to see if that would kill the engine--the engine hesistated but kept running, so I would guess there's a leak somewhere, is that true? Any leak must be up near the manifold because the exhaust pipes are pretty new and a leak would be easily found. How do I find the leak so I don't get asphixiated with the windows down? And if there is a leak, how come I don't get any exhaust in the cabin when the windows and roof are closed? Thanks for any help. Doug, Toronto

Hello all. If anyone has some ideas I would love to hear them. I have an 88 944, it runs great however I have no brake lights or instruments. I was able to check the bulbs. those are fine. the fuses are okay as well. Slot 18 and 19 were not getting power. I checked to make sure everything in box was connected it was. So I figured I would jump the circuit just to see if everything came on and worked. So I jumped power to the fuse slot and I was able to get them working for a few moments. Now here is the odd part. There was a click that came from the cruise control unit. This had also poped right before everything started working. Once I turned the key off it popped again and then nothing worked anymore. All the clicks came from cruise control unit. So what I am thinking is that my cruise control switch or circuit is open and not allowing the power to get to the fuse box. Is there a relay or something that trips out on these in this manner? I would disconnect the cruise control but looking over the diagram it seems the brake lights and clutch also tie in with the cruise on the same circuit. Anyone go through this?
