I have always wondered why Porsche would leave the wiring loom that is behind the fuse/relay board unprotected from a careless left foot and virtually in full view.

Browsing through PET, I spotted a cover that fixes under the fuse relay board, in effect covering and protecting the wiring loom. I ordered this from Porsche (black colour, approx 12 inches x 9 inches made from stiff cardboard).

Unfortunately, I could not fit it as the wiring loom appears to hang too low and there is no free play in the loom so that I can push up slightly and fit the cover.

Does anybody else have this cover, removed it or refitted it and had problems?

Thanks

Arthur

I have that thing removed from my car because I occasionally need quick access to the bundle of wires that's attached to the back of the fusebox (flakey wiper connection sometimes needs jiggling).
I don't know what to tell you - it should fit. I'd think you just have to push the wires up some.

Mine is still in place. You must have big feet to be able to get to the wiring harness. Sure you don`t have some extra aftermarket wiring up in there? ie...alarm?

Thanks for your replies.

I guess I am afraid to push the loom up. I'll try again.

Feet are only size 42. (I think that is size 9 in the US!!!!)

Yep, I still have mine. It is a little tattered, but functional.

So, are you going to any of the Olympics?
