PSM Question

Hi all,
I'm new to this forum, though I use/read other forums regularly (Harley Davidson). I recently purchased a 2001 Boxster base and replaced the low beam headlights today with a better H7 bulb. Now I notice the the "PSM Off" light on on my instrument cluster stays lit, even when I press the PSM switch nothing happens. I checked all the relavent fuses and they look okay. Any thoughts?

Have your system scanned to find out what the PSM is doing, could be almost anything, but you won't know until it is scanned.....

I did leave the headlights on w/o engine running for an extended period while installing the new bulbs. I'm just a bit concerned that I may have disconnected something accidently while installing them. The "PSM Off" light was fine prior to the headlight bulb install.

Check your battery; sometimes the PSM and ABS lights are voltage related..............
