'91 911 Cab. brakes Hi Alex, Disconnect your battery ground strap for about ten seconds, and the warning light should go out. Your clock should not be noisy. We can supply rebuilt clocks for all 911, 914 and 356 models. Want to update your mechanism to quartz? VDO quartz internals from BMWs can replace the mechanical clocks within most Porsches. Call Tom in parts at 1-888-280-7799 and he will help you. Hope this helps, Bob at Pelican Parts > Hi there. I think that you do need to reset a switch. I'm not 100% sure, > though.
