2016 Overheating due to faulty wiring harness?!

[Berserk247]

Hey everyone, just wanted to share my experience really quickly just in case someone had a similar problem. So two days ago I get my new FiST, I'm super happy, loving it. Get up the next day to drive to the mountains and on the way it starts to overheat. I immediately take it to the dealer, and upon inspection, it seems like it is the wiring harness. I now have to wait a week until the part arrives at the dealer. Didn't even have the car for 24 hours

 

[ogsigh]

Wow sorry to hear that

Try to find out exactly what harness is was for us
They should give you something showing the part# of what they replaced.
Sorry it ruined your trip though ..

Next trip... Use the Porsche GTS app !!

I'll get the part number as soon as it gets here. Blah....depressed lol

Which harness? There's not only one...

 

[Berserk247]

The one that connects to the radiator fan. Not sure which one that is. Only had the car for 12 hours, haha.

Are they different than the 14-15

 

[trsandrew]

Are they different than the 14-15

No. The car is the same in 2016...

 

[me32]

No. The car is the same in 2016...

I mean in terms of the wiring harness.

 

[trsandrew]

Still no. The car is the same. Only the radio changed.

Ooookkkkk. So I'm here at the dealer, thought I'd come up and talk to them in person. The harness is on back order nation wide. Won't be here until the 27th. Might be a bigger issue than I thought. ]

We seem to have a lot of parts on "back order"... When I broke my axle, it was on back order for like 3 months. Brake pads were on back order. Now a fan control module wiring harness? Just weird...

It's frustrating, they gave me a damn prius as a loaner........

Able to find out exactly the problem and which harness? My 2016 overheated because the radiator fan won't come on so when idling it gets hot until I start driving.
