A bad ignition switch will make the car's electronics act downright possessed. Some stuff will work, other things won't, and if you move the key in and out and turn it and jiggle it, you'll find that stuff will start working while other stuff might stop working.

It's freaky the first time it happens.

This is one piece of crap plastic part that Porsche STILL USES in all of its cars. Buy two so you have one in your toolbox for the next time it goes out.

I will never go on a cross-country road trip without one of these in the car and the tiny screwdriver required to replace it as well as a printout of the instructions from Mike's pages. No sense in getting raped by a dealer while on vacation.
