Date: 12-21-01
Vehicle Type:
Boxster / Boxster S
Model Year:
As of 1997 (V)
Concern:
Electrical plug connection on the heating / air-conditioning control.
Information:
Certain conditions, such as high humidity, can cause condensation to form on the central vent. The condensation then drips onto the electrical plug
connection of the heating / air-conditioning control causing corrosion to form on the electrical connector.
To prevent this condition, a piece of self-adhesive foam will be adherred to the underside of the central vent on vehicles with a faulty heating /
air-conditioning control caused by corrosion on the electrical plug connection. The foam should be applied as a preventive measure if the vent has been
removed due to other service needs.
Note:
Applies only to vehicles without PCM.
