My apologies to everyone for that post, never should have happened. I'd had a bad day, and I let it get the better of me. Not my norm.
Like Tim and Stone said, everyone is helpful on this site. I can always find the answer, usually without having to ask the question (search).
And technically, I did get the answer to this one, just probably didn't ask the question correctly, my bad.
To be honest, I don't really even contribute much to the forum. I check in at least twice a day and really never give advice, just take it.
Again, my bad, and I take it back.
Thanks for being here folks,
Gary

Bad days happen. They have an app for your phone (of course they do) that keeps you from posting on FB and other sites when you are drunk.. lol you have to apply one to web forums when your having a sh_tty day!!

I'm going through the wiring diagram in the Bentley now

This line alone tells me not to help you. Seriously. Get the factory manuals. Bentley does NOTHING but strip out what **they** believe is not vital information in the factory manuals.
Jeff is correct in many ways. I sit (when I sit) with a 32inch monitor on my right with factory Porsche PIWIS software running in a virtual environment, and PET running in a virtual environment. The same computer has all the factory manuals until Porsche moved them to the PIWISII. There is NOTHING I cant look up (right now)
Now, that being said? I skip 90% of the questions (or I give short answers) because of TIME. You run a shop? What benefit do I get by answering questions for people who typically won't listen anyway?? LOL I know what the benefit is, but you cant not quantify it.

For the most part I've found almost everyone here quite helpful. But as with all forums there will always be a few that dont want to be "bothered" with a newbie's question.

Many times because the newbie asks about the bullet shaped thing in the lower grill, or which oil to use, without searching for the 10,000 existing threads.
Many times it's the newbie that can't be "bothered".
Having said that, I usually try to answer threads with no replies.

The bullet shaped thing in your lower grill probably is a bullet!
