Hi this is a strange one for both lamps to be out ther has to be something common and in this case its LCM the indicators have 4 indipendant feeds from the LCM the LCM has 3 fuses and 2 links check these first

sounds like power is going to the control units [tick tock] but not reaching the lights...there must be a common circuit or fuse that is in that section of wiring that has failed...remember the lights are led's so 'might' not work unless some circuitry powers them...

Good morning, we do lots of these "my lights dont work" after other companies have 2010 converted them... You can do lots of damage by trying to sort it yourself. Best finding an auto electrician who knows his stuff and pay them to rectify...

what do you mean by link 3.4 ?? thanks Guys I went out and checked fuses stated above and all look good to me. I used the rsw all comms tool and it showed me the following error in the light control module: air suspension active/inactive check coolant fault left dip beam headlight defective now i am not sure what this means, i dont have any faults show up anywhere in the car message centre etc or this maybe a list of previous faults as the car drives flawlessly. the left dip beam headlight defective is a cause for concern possibly. however i am not that advanced with the rsw all comms tool either. i cleared all these faults, turned everything off, played around with the lights etc etc plugged it all back up and the faults are not showing up again, not sure if it takes time or if these were old faults. the whole conversion was done with these guys, might give them a call and get some information on why all the leds might not work, they might be able to shed some light on a particular area. http://www.ca4x4.co.uk/index2.htm Last edited by RR8701 on 6th Nov 2011 1:30pm.

There are 3 fuses and 2 links feeding the lcm the links are in the fuse box and a real pain to get at but you can check continuity of the links by removing the panel under the glove box then you have accsess to the underneath of fuse box there you will find a black plastic cover and under that is the fixings for the links check across all the links i think 5 in all Porsche Cayenne

I think that because yours is an aftermarket wiring job then it would be wise to ring the install people and ask there advice. they will probably know exactly what the problem is. ... - .- -.

hi daveo, no not at all, me and car electronics are a big no no haha. i purchased the car 3 months ago and its been perfect. the person i purchased it from had the conversion done and had it for a year approx and diddnt state he had any problems and im sure if he did they would have showed up in my first few weeks of ownership. the only issue i have had with the rr is the air suspension but thats because my numpty brother left the tailgate open by accident one day and the tyre well got full of water and screwed the compressor which is now sorted.

There will be a replication box fitted (behind the headlamps usually) that turns the electrical output from your LCM into a useable power feed to run the led's. If the indicators still flash correctly on the dash display but not on the car then there is an issue with their box not your car or your lights. Simple... Go to a decent auto electrician and they will replace/repair the replication box... Probably the same unit that works the side lamps too but not the main headlamp powers so they will still work as expected... Hope this clears some of the confusion up...
