tyre pump

[pcn1]

A tried out the porsche tyre pump on the 944 yesterday. Plugged into the lighter and turned on but no go ! Are they repairable, I could not see any fuse.

Thanks

Dunno, but it has reminded me to try mine - thanks!

If it doesn't work, try taking it apart (ensure that the cigarette lighter is working BTW) and check systematically. See what you find - nothing to lose.

Silly question but are you sure the lighter isn't ignition switched on your car?

I checked the lighter socket was on. I'll give it another go later, but i have an old halfords unit to carry as a back-up for now.

Maybe the tyre pump blew the lighter fuse?

The rheostat/switch fails when it gets damp.
Cut the wires either side of the switch and remove it. Join the two wires together then try it.
This nearly always works.

How did you get on with it?

I still need to look at this again. Fitted a new cd player on Saturday and took a spin to Duxford on Sunday with the roof out. Great in the morning but roasting coming home ! Must get A/C in next car !!!
