I own a 924S 1988 & it Cuts out when hot & will not restart/run easily until it has cooled down, i have bought a new Dme relay as a starting point to fix it but i can not find it located in the Fuse Box. Can anybody help me?

On an early 944 the DME relay went in a circuit board. under the dashboard on the passenger side of the car. Not difficult to access as long as your flexible.

If you still have problems, it may be down to the engine speed sensors.

Hope that helps

The Car came with a spare DME relay (Part Number 993.615.227.00) i have looked under the n/s dash & none of the relays have DME or look like this relay, i bought a new relay from Porsche & they supplied an identical one to the spare one i found in the car & it's the same part number, is there any other type of Dme relay for this model?

Hi,

the relay should be in the fuse box under the bonnet, on the outerside at the rear of the box. It will be plain black. Its hard to notice at first.

The part number has been changed to the one you have now. it is a direct replacement for the one in the car. Not sure of the part number of the old ones.


This was the text from a previous post
"From the information I have the DME relay in 944s, 924Ss, 968s and 964s originally carried the part number 944.615.227.00.

The part was then updated for the 993 and subsequently carried the part number 993.615.227.00. This part is a direct replacement for the original 944 unit. "

Here's the complete post.

The DME relay isnt under the bonnet! Its in the same position as on a series one 944. Its mounted above the main fuse box in the above the passenger side footwell. It will be black with 'DME RELAIS' tampo printed on.
