I am having an electrical issue with my Boxster. When I turn off the ignition key there are lights that stay on. Odometer, anothet light in the middle and the clock. There are on the bottom row of the speedometer. I am thinking a possible relay. It looks like there are over 100 relays. Do you know which relays control the speedometer area of the car? Thanks.

Can you give me the name for the warning lamp itself? I haven't tried to look at your owners manual, yet.

Usually warning lamps go hot with the key on. So if there is an applicable fuse for that lamp and it is hot with the key off, I would have to check your ignition switch.

Don't replace anything w/o further diagnostics.
