Dear Friends,

I have a 944S LH Porsche.
It is a 1989 model.

I am unfortunately not technical orientated but would like to learn
more about my car and even sort out some problems myself.

To begin with, the indicator LED on the dashboard stays on when
switching it to the left or right. What can the natural cause be?

Where can I check?
I thought it might be a fuse but when I opened the fuse box in the
engine compartment I was a little intimidated by the number of fuses.

Please help.

Thanks in advance

1. it is not a fuse
2. there are NO LEDs in your car as it came from the factory except for a
green one on top of one relay within the fuste box
3. which indicator are you speaking of - the turn signal indicator or some
other indicator? and a few more words to explain what you mean by "stays
on" will be helpful - does it never turn off? does it ever flash?

Hi All,

I have found the answer on this group.
The problem was the indicator / flasher relay need replacement.
I bought one (VW brand) and put it in and the indicators work 100%.

Great group this!

good work - now save the old flasher - perhaps a friend who can solder will
be able to fix it for you - I had one go bad and I did two things to fix
it - I cleaned the relay contacts and I resoldered a bad connection - 10
years later it is still working.
