    Two quick questions please.

    Does anyone know for sure the offset front and rear for a 91 TR wheels.

    Second……all of a sudden, when I turn on my running lights I get the parking light indicator on the dash come on but no other interior lights. (dash or console) The parking light button works just fine. Clues?

    To the nearest millimeter (for the 5-lug, 16" TR wheels):

    Front = +34 mm
    Rear = +60 mm

    (I can post the exact nominal numbers tomorrow).

    Does the hazard light function work OK? (It wouldn't hurt to just try cycling the hazard light switch a few times)

    When you say "The parking light button works just fine" does this mean that with the running lights "off", when you activate the parking light switch the green indicator light in the dash and the front and rear exterior running lights come "on" (the side running lights should be "off")?

    yes and yes

    What I get is when I turn on the running lights it is just as if I had turned on the parking lights.

    (Sorry if this is tedious, but I need to be clear) Do you mean that only the front and rear running lights, and not the side running lights, come "on" when you turn on the running lights?

    Steve, I have never met you or even replied to any of your threads, but wanted to take a moment and thank you for all the advice and information you bring to F-chat. As a testarossa owner I have read through tons of your posts and am impressed with your willingness to help others in need and your knowledge of Ferrari’s.

    That's very kind of you to say Jason -- thank you. It's probably a good thing that we haven't corresponded more directly before -- means your TR is well ;)

    (...now, if I could just get a better salary doing it...)

    Solution to problem was loose wire in fuse box blew the fuse (dead center of box, 7.5 amp). Interesting how that made it think it was on parking lights.
