Another annoying drama. No low beams. I have parkers and high beams but the high beams wont click in, they only flash when lifting the stalk. I think that is of course because I cant get low beam.

Looked at fuse 3 and 4, sure thats them, OK. Any suggestions what to look at now?

Thanks.

How many sets of lights does it take a $229k Carrera S to learn? 😂 UPDATE: Cayman S, M3, B4 now added to the list.

I thought mine was doing the same thing, then I realised that I had only pulled the headlight switch out to Park Lights, and then of course the high beams don't stay on. DER! Of course ignition on is required too. Just in case there are others like me out there!🤪

I would therefore suspect the headlight relay too, on the assumption that you haven't done the same no-brain thing I did.
