I’ve had my 1999 Boxster for almost a month and this just started happening 3 days ago. When I turn off my Boxster and remove the key, the dash lights including the speedometer, clock and mileage reading no longer turn off. I don’t know if I accidentally changed a setting that I can change back, or if this is a problem? I’ve waited for 5 minutes and the lights stay on. The only way I can get the lights to turn off is to lock the car. Any suggestions or ideas?
thanks for your help.
