Adam,

I think you have either a issue with the brake switch or the ignition switch.

With my 1999 Boxster, I cannot shift out of park when I depress the brake pedal.

I changed the brake switch, but the problem remained.

I can hear a faint clicking noise from the ignition switch as I attempt to press the button on the shifter. I am on my second ignition switch.

My temporary solution to the problem is this:

a) Depress the brake pedal, and at the same time push down on the shift button and turn the ignition switch.

It works everytime for me. I will continue with this technique until I work up the nerve to change out the faulty ignition switch.

My two-cents.
