Um, this weird scratch on the climate control
Hello hive mind.
I recently bought back an old 1999 Boxster I used to own. Unfortunately, it came with a lot of fresh defects. I have had all the big mechanical things taken care of, now I'm down to cosmetics. The climate control display has this orange line across it that...well, I guess the best way to describe it is simply to provide a photo. http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1591575836.jpg Is there a way to fix this -- take it apart and repaint it, or buy a replacement screen -- without having to replace it with a whole new unit? Thanks! |
The LCD's in that section have died. If you are handy the unit can be disassembled and repaired . Or buy a known good used unit and replace .

Buy a kit and fix it. Easy repair.

Could your issue be something like this?
http://986forum.com/forums/boxster-general-discussions/77694-help-my-cluster-has-worms.html If so, and you're lucky, your solution may be as easy as post #13. If you can live with it for a while, do nothing for a few months and see what happens. |

Of the two links you supplied, is there any difference between the end result for each? Do they look OEM? |
Pelican sells a LCD repair kit. Put one in my '99. Very easy do and not expensive.

the repair kit is easy...its actually fun. I swapped mine out with a parts car, but later repaired the bad one with a kit. the icons on my kit were a little different, so be aware if you think that will bother you, Some might think its an improvement. I like the stock icons because they aren't intuitive, so im the only one that understands them. :+)

Mine hasn’t done that, but a couple of my indicators have died, works fine (except for the foam blowout every now and then) so I’m in need of a new one too. Looks pretty straight forward. Have new coil overs to install this summer... not looking forward to it...
